About The Trust

Our sites offer some of the most popular island experiences from hiking trails, historic buildings and ruins, and memory-making locations for superb island weddings and every important life event.

Trust Management
The work of the Saint Lucia National Trust is carried out by a cadre of employed staff, governed by the elected and appointed Council. The Council is enabled to establish ad hoc committees to support its work.
An annual audit is carried out by a recognized public accounting firm and presented at the Annual General Meeting to members. The Annual Report is submitted to the Minister responsible for the Trust who presents it to the Parliament annually.
We strive for accountability, transparency and an open, welcoming organization, but by nature, some of our work involves tough advocacy and conflict resolution. We do our best to take a proactive approach in advocating for the best balance of conservation, effective management and development of Saint Lucia’s precious natural and historic assets.
