St Lucia / Special Interests / Conservation
The island has a number of groups that involve themselves with the protection of species, habitats and historic sites. The St Lucia National Trust was formed in 1975 and oversees the preservation of buildings, objects of historical and cultural interest and animal and plant life.
Some of the conservation projects overseen by the National Trust include the The Morne Fortune Historic Area, Pigeon Island National Landmark and Marigot Bay, see St Lucia Places of Interest. It also controls Anse la Liberté, a valley with a campground and Anse Galet.
It runs tours to Pigeon Island, Morne Fortuné and Maria Islands (contact the National Trust at the address below).
