Our taxi driver was astonished to discover that there is a 2 mile nature walk in the northeast corner of the island. Some of the biggest trees left on the island are located along the walk. The Maestic Tree is one of the oldest, largest trees left on the island. The largest were only 20-25 feet tall but they are the favorite tree of the extremly shy Carribean Dove. The area around the walk is sometimes only a few hundred feet wide but the fact that it exists is indicative of the strides the country is taking to conserve it's native flora and fauna.
