Volunteering with Jersey Trees for Life during 2026

As part of our ongoing Positive Impact commitment, the Mauritius Trust team participated in an environmental conservation activity at Mondrain Reserve on Saturday, 28 March 2026, contributing directly to the protection and restoration of Mauritius’ unique ecosystem through practical, hands‑on initiatives.

During the session, we took part in a variety of conservation activities, including planting endemic trees, weeding, mulching, and first potting. Through the first potting activity, 35 endemic seedlings were prepared, supporting the propagation of indigenous plant species that are essential to preserving local biodiversity.

In addition, 437 plants were weeded across designated grid areas within the reserve, helping to reduce competition from invasive species and improve growing conditions for young endemic plants. A further approximately 280 seedlings were mulched, a critical step in protecting soil moisture, regulating temperature, and improving seedling survival rates.

This Positive Impact activity not only delivered meaningful environmental benefits but also provided an opportunity for colleagues to collaborate outside the workplace, strengthening connections while making a tangible difference to the community and environment.
