Forestry and Watershed Management

From inception, TRWRP’s mission has been to conserve and increase forest capital. This will be accomplished primarily through the planting and conservation of trees. TRWRP commits to partnering with the Department of Forestry and other public and private stakeholders to protect Tobago’s botanical heritage (especially the Main Ridge Forest Reserve) and to meet the objectives of the Man and the Biosphere designated area. 

Examples of activities under the Forestry and Watershed Management theme may include trail development and maintenance e.g Blue Water Peninsula, building check dams and replaning denuded land with timber species.

Key stakeholder in the Botanical Garden Development Project. 

Demarcate and manage green spaces for conservation objectives. In some cases in partnership with private holdings.

Envision development and maintenance of green spaces in population centers
