| Bermuda extends 21 square miles, and much of it is covered by introduced species like the casuarinas tree, an import from Australia. Planting makes use of indigenous species, like the frothy casuarinas (feathery tree native to Australia) along the northern edges of the site and the native grasses which cover low earth berms around the range. The now ubiquitous Casuarinas were brought to the Bahamas and nearby south Florida to serve as windbreaks. |
