Mission



To safeguard the natural, historical and cultural heritage of the Turks & Caicos Islands for present and future generations and for the enjoyment of all.



The Turks & Caicos National Trust is a membership, non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to the preservation of the cultural, historic and natural heritage of the Turks & Caicos Islands.



It was founded in 1992, after the passage of enabling legislation by the TCI Government. The Turks & Caicos National Trust is governed by an elected Council which includes representatives from all the inhabited islands in the TCI.



The enabling legislation gives the Trust a wide variety of powers, among which are the powers to:



- Identify, investigate, classify, protect and preserve any area, site, building, structure, or object of cultural, historic or natural significance;



- Hold property in trust for the future, including the powers to declare such property inalienable and to provide public access;



- Create a Heritage Register;
