Description

The Ecology Day shares the knowledge and worldview of our First Peoples in relation to the natural environment, which provides resources of food, shelter, clothing, medicine, art and livelihood to mankind.

The use of the Cleaver Woods Recreational Park as the chosen venue will immerse participants in a natural forest setting. The Day dawns with our paying homage to the Creator. This will be followed by a welcome ceremony, including an introduction of the day’s activities. These will include exhibitions by the Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalists’ Club, Forestry Division-Wildlife Section, NGO’s and community groups. Participants will experience hands-on displays of roof thatching, handicraft and art using forest products, food and the preparation of herbal brews by representatives of the Indigenous Community. Educational tours of the Cleaver Woods Forest will be conducted at regular intervals by knowledgeable guides, providing information on trees and plant uses, their characteristics and conservation. Participants will also be afforded demonstrations on plant collection and preservation techniques.

Pre-registration will be open for further courses in Caribbean Ecology to be conducted later in the year.

Knowledge transfer through practical application!
