The bluff and surrounding coasts host an incredible wealth of nature and recreational opportunities. We want to ensure that all future generations can access natural areas, especially the bluff. Although the bluff face is crown-owned, there is no designated public access to it. CBRAC is changing that. Our protected areas serve as access points for climbing, caving, hiking, bat-watching, birdwatching, and nature meditation. 

We are taking the idea of beach access a step further. Beach lovers now have to squeeze between buildings to access many beaches in the Cayman Islands. We are creating nature corridors so you can access the bluff and coast via pristine forests rather than pavement.

In all of our projects, the twin goals of ecological conservation and recreational access are delicately balanced. We always strive to maintain land in its natural state, but some modification is necessary to ensure safe recreational enjoyment.       

Modification of the land will be limited to improving accessibility and safety for these areas. Examples of this limited development include maintaining trails, primitive picnic areas and simple platforms in natural clearings. The natural lay of the land should ultimately dictate use, and all trails and recreational areas will be maintained with the lowest environmental impact possible.

We’re on a mission to nurture our community’s connection with the outdoors. Ecological education is at the core of this mission. CBRAC protects beautiful spaces so we can be at peace and learn from the greatest teacher: nature. We also facilitate educational events and tools that help share the love for this beautiful island.

Our work encourages and supports the development of ecological research in the local flora and fauna of Cayman Brac by providing access to wild, natural spaces and building relationships with other education, research, and conservation organizations.
