Asa Wright Nature Centre, Nature reserve in Arima, Trinidad and Tobago
The Asa Wright Nature Centre spans 1500 acres of protected forest land within the Northern Range mountains, containing diverse ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
The centre began as Spring Hill Estate, a cocoa-coffee-citrus plantation, before its transformation into a scientific research station and conservation area in 1967.
The facility maintains strong connections with local communities through environmental education programs and promotes sustainable practices in the Arima Valley region.
Visitors can access guided nature walks, bird watching sessions, and overnight accommodations while exploring the extensive network of maintained forest trails.
The reserve houses a colony of rare Oilbirds in the Dunston Cave, one of the most accessible locations to observe these nocturnal fruit-eating birds.
