“We Preserve US.VI” … yes, it has a meaning: a play on words of course. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is one of my trademarks. We preserve US because if we don't who will?
We preserve the USVI (United States Virgin Islands) because it's those of us in the know that need
to speak up about what is here, why it is here, how it got here and how we are going to
keep it here. Why we all need to get involved is because if you are
fed up with everyone else charting your course for you, try setting
the compass yourself and experience how shaping your own destiny
is beyond a spiritual experience and is truly fulfilling. Embark on a journey with me to learn about this unique
set of Caribbean islands: how culturally rich they are and how we can
restore and develop them wisely and effectively. By using preservation and
conservation practices as an economic engine, we can build truly amazing
green and sustainable spaces here in the USVI.
