The Higgs Nature Reserve is a small nature reserve managed by the Bermuda National Trust. It is the southern portion of the Trust's Tivoli property, bequeathed to the Trust in 1984 by Gloria Higgs.
This small area of wetland is all that remains of the Warwick West marsh, which once covered the whole of this valley. Most of the marsh was filled in by rubbish dumped there in the 1960s and 1970s, but Miss Higgs refused to allow the Tivoli marshland to be filled. As development grew up around it, this small reserve was saved by a generous gift from the family of the late Sir John (Jack) Sharpe, a former Premier of Bermuda. The pond is now known as Jack’s Pond.
