Hello NHCS Members and visitors to our website,

I would like to give you some background information on the evolution to a National Trust for Nevis.
• May, 2002 the Nevis Island Administration announces that the government would like to develop a National Trust for Nevis.
• June, 2002 the NHCS Board of Directors decides to take a proactive role in working with government on their proposal.
• February, 2003 at the NHCS AGM a decision is made to hold a special membership meeting to further discuss a National Trust for Nevis.
• April, 2003 an extraordinary membership meeting was held to plan a way forward for a National Trust by establishing a Steering Committee.
• May, 2003 through present, the Steering Committee meets every two weeks.
• Since 03 we have developed Draft Legislation and By-Laws. Historical site plans are still being developed, and a time-line is in place.

    The National Trust document has been agreed upon by the NHCS and the NIA Legal Department. We are now waiting for the Legal Department to introduce the document to the NIA Cabinet for their concurrence.

At our AGM meeting we will be only approving the content of the document. We will need to wait until the Government makes an official announcement before we can officially vote on the transformation from NHCS to Nevis National Trust.
