Bermuda's Island Treasure
Step back in time to pre-colonial Bermuda on Nonsuch Island. This once-barren island was restored by one man, David Wingate, who planted 8,000 native trees and shrubs in order to create a suitable habitat for one of the rarest seabirds in the world, the Bermuda Petrel or Cahow. Nonsuch Island is now a refuge for all of Bermuda’s natve flora and fauna.
THE BIRD

This the story of how one man can save a species and how habitat can be restored.
