Pointe-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust 
|
|
The middle of an oil refinery may seem an odd place for a nature sanctuary, but this is one of the best bird viewing spots in Trinidad.
Encompassing a lake with a trail around the periphery and an interpretation center near the parking lot, the 25 ha site is part wild birds and part breeding cages for endangered species. The area is protected by the Pointe-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust.
The highlight includes the ability to get close to wild Scarlet Ibises which is much harder or not possible in other sanctuaries. A wide range of wild bird species and the photogenic nature of the overall site make the site a prime visit spot.
The trust was founded in 1966 and is a volunteer-run organization.
