Grenada & Carriacou / Special Interests / Conservation

The Willie Redhead Foundation brings together a group of concerned Grenadians, including architects and historians, with the purpose of creating awareness of the importance of preserving the old buildings of St George’s. They can be contacted through Norris Mitchell, t 444 4667 or Ray Smith. The President of the foundation can be reached at his home on t 440 4022. Post will reach them at Willie Redhead Foundation, St George's, Grenada.

Grenada has instituted a number of National Parks, covering the various different environments that are found on the island, including the Grand Etang area which is protected for its rainforest (though the damage from Hurricane Ivan in 2004 is still clearly visible here).

A number of parks and reserves exist in Carriacou but for the offshore islands, particularly, it is a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
