After announcing the closure of the Asa Wright Nature Centre on Monday, vice chairman of the board Marina Narinesingh said on Thursday the conservation and research efforts of the centre will continue.
The centre had announced it was to close owing to covid19 restrictions and the closure of borders, limiting visitors.
While the visitors’ lodge and hospitality centre will no longer be open to the public, Narinesingh said the centre will continue to pursue its conservation and research efforts as best as it can.
Asa Wright Centre closes, 40 employees sent home
by
The Asa Wright Nature Centre and Eco-Lodge opened in 1967.
Now, over 50 years later, it has closed its doors for the first time, sending home more than 40 employees.
Flora and fauna stretch along the nature site’s trails as far as the eye can see.
Asa Wright’s conservation land trust extends across the Arima, Aripo, and Guanapo Valleys of the Northern Range, spanning 1,500 acres.
The centre’s main facilities, including its eco-lodge, are on a former cocoa-coffee-citrus plantation in the Arima valley. Along the many trails of the Centre’s property, several Chinese Palms are scattered, home to the Nature Centre’s mascot, the Oilbird.
