On September 6, 2017 the U.S. Virgin Islands was hit by Category 5 Hurricane Irma, the largest recorded Atlantic storm in our human history. Two weeks later, the 2nd largest storm, Category 5 Hurricane Maria past just south of the island. The combined effects of the storm have left the region in a state of restoration, still more than a year later. The Friends is committed to bringing our park back! These are some of the projects we have completed in the aftermath of the storms.
