Adopt-A-Box
Adopt-A-Box is the innovative project that is cleverly transforming eye sores into a tourism attraction while increasing nature and cultural heritage awareness. The Saba Electric Company placed the island’s power lines underground in a multi-year renovation beginning in the mid-2010s to safeguard the island’s power supply during storms and other disruptions. As a result, there are electrical distribution boxes (also known as meter walls) scattered across the island that are visually unappealing and exposed to the elements. Adopt-A-Box is transforming these eyesores into an engaging walking tour by installing doors fronted with storyboards featuring the history, art, and nature of Saba.

Beginning in 2024, SLF is launching a new approach to the project that brings together community members to highlight Saba’s distinct cultural and environmental heritage. If you have an interesting “Saba Story” to tell, simply fill out the form to submit a brief description and upload any images, documents, video or audio relevant to your topic. You can also reach out via email or stop by our office in Windwardside.
