 In September 2010 Hurricane Igor also caused more damage to the reserve.Many of the endemic plants and trees that once lived here, especially the Bermuda cedar ("Juniperus bermudiana") have been killed off by introduced species, such as the Mexican pepper ("Schinus terebinthifolius"), Australian whistling-pine ("Casuarina equisetifolia"), fiddlewood ("Citharexylum spinosum"), Chinese fan palm ("Livistona chinensis"), and asparagus fern ("Asparagus densiflorus").There are mangrove swamps, salt marsh (created by flooding of the pond by the sea during storms), and also large areas of woodland.
