About Paget Marsh Nature Reserve
Paget Marsh is a small nature reserve in the middle of Paget, maintained by the Bermuda National Trust and the Bermuda Audubon Society. It preserves one of the few remaining stretches of marsh and mangrove on the island.
A wooden boardwalk crosses the marsh among Bermuda cedars, native palmettos, ferns and mangroves. Signs explain the plants and animals and show what Bermuda’s vegetation looked like before the arrival of settlers in 1609.
The reserve is popular for birdwatching, especially during migration months in autumn and winter. The path is short and flat, and the visit pairs well with the nearby Botanical Gardens.
