PACT helps Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary

Hurricane Keith left it bruised and battered, but thanks to a grant from PACT, the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary will receive a badly needed facelift. The sixty-five thousand dollars from the Protected Areas Conservation Trust will go toward the repair of two boardwalks and an observation tower, installation of new signs, improvement of trails and visitor’s centre, as well as the purchasing of a skiff and two small engines. The sanctuary, declared in 1984, is co-managed by the Government and Belize Audubon Society. Its sixteen thousand, four hundred acres are a favourite of birdwatchers.
