The Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds has been a vital supporter of the EPIC Sint Maarten Foundation since 2013, awarding our non-profit more than $80,000 for eight conservation projects. EPIC Grants Manager Tanya Power-Stevens had the opportunity to share with Ms. Melanie Sloot, Chef de Bureau of The Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, the results of these investments during a tour of the hiking area at Little Bay Pond during her recent visit to Sint Maarten. Two EPIC projects are currently supported by the Fund including a comprehensive plant catalog for Sint Maarten/Saint Martin and ecotour guide training to support sustainable tourism that includes how to lead hikes, and how to teach about the flora, fauna, and history of the island. Thank you Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds for its support of conservation and education throughout the Dutch West Indies.
