Join the Beautification DriveHurricane Ivan may be over, but its memory lingers on. Thousands of trees, shrubs and other plants were destroyed when Ivan stormed through. Now, the Beautification Committee is working hard to restore the Grand Cayman to its former glory. In the next few weeks, you’ll be seeing a public information campaign unfolding in your local newspaper. The committee will be recommending the plants it believes will make the best choice for replacements. You’ll see a total of three different categories, along with five to 10 recommendations for each one… Plants and trees that grow quickly. Plants and trees that are salt tolerant. Plants and trees that are drought resistant. Local nurseries will be involved, too… working closely together with the committee to ensure a steady supply of each variety of plant. In the meantime, residents are continuing to pitch in and help with the clean-up effort. Anyone in need of supplies or possible funding to help them assist in beautification can phone David Kirkaldy, of the Beautification Committee, at 516-0539.
