About Montserrat National Trust

The Montserrat National Trust protects and promotes the natural, cultural, and historical heritage of the island, offering visitors a chance to engage with its rich ecological and cultural landscape.

Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Montserrat National Trust plays a critical role in preserving the island's exquisite natural beauty and cultural heritage. Situated in the Caribbean, Montserrat is characterized by its lush green hills, volcanic landscapes, and vibrant marine life. The Trust manages various projects, including the upkeep of botanical gardens, restoration of historical sites, and conservation of native species. The Trust's Garden is a major attraction offering a peaceful oasis with a wide variety of tropical plants. Visitors can also explore historical sites like the Amerindian Petroglyphs, which offer a glimpse into the island's past. Montserrat's flora and fauna, much of which is endemic, make it a prime spot for eco-tourism, particularly for bird watchers hoping to catch a glimpse of the national bird, the Montserrat Oriole. Visitor-friendly facilities include informative exhibits and guided tours, offering an enriching experience for those interested in the island's natural and cultural narratives.
