IHO Nature Rangers to Host Community Consultations in Parham, Seatons and Glanvilles
The IHO Nature Rangers will host community consultations in Parham, Seatons and Glanvilles later this month as part of the Strengthening Conservation Actions in the North East Marine Management Area (NEMMA) project.
The sessions are aimed at bringing residents closer to conservation efforts, including litter prevention, biodiversity protection and community beautification.
The Parham consultation will be held on Monday, January 26, at the Parham Primary School from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A joint consultation for Seatons and Glanvilles is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28, at the Glanvilles Community Center, also from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided at both meetings.
Residents attending the consultations will learn more about the NEMMA project, upcoming training opportunities, and planned community activities such as clean-ups and litter prevention initiatives. The sessions will also give community members a chance to share their views and help shape project priorities.
Project Manager Britney McDonald stressed the importance of local involvement, noting that the consultations will ensure activities planned for 2026 reflect the needs of the communities. She said the project is focused on practical action in areas such as conservation, biodiversity protection and reducing litter.
The consultations are open to residents of Parham, Seatons and Glanvilles, as well as community groups, civil society organizations, and public and private sector stakeholders. People of all ages are encouraged to attend and participate.
The IHO Nature Rangers thanked Parham Primary School and the Glanvilles Community Center for hosting the sessions.
The initiative forms part of the Strengthening Conservation Actions in the North East Marine Management Area, Antigua and Barbuda project, led by the IHO Nature Rangers and funded by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund and the World Bank, with support from the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute and Integrated Health Outreach.
