Grenada Forest Policy Development Process http://www.sidsnet.org/successtories/15.html The process of developing forest policy in Grenada has been modified to include wide stakeholder participation. Deforestation, soil erosion and natural resource degradation occurred within and outside the boundaries of designated forest reserves. The Department For International Development Forestry Project commenced in September 1997 as a result of Forestry Department staff members recognizing that forest management involved more than the production of timber in forest reserves. The project also entailed managing the use of forest lands that fall under several legal categories.

PROJECT SUBMISSION:  FORESTRY SECTOR REHABILITATION PROJECT (FSRP)  http://www.ardgrenada.org/media/docs/forest_rehab.pdf Grenada’s forests have been valued principally for their public environmental services, notably water supplies and recreation. But they have also supported the livelihoods of some rural groups, especially basket makers, professional wild meat hunters, saw-millers and trekking guides. However, the goods and services that Grenada’s forests provided have been severely damaged by the 150 mph winds of Hurricane Ivan. No areas of forest on the mainland were left undamaged and large swathes of forest and uncountable trees, particularly in the south of the island were destroyed. In some areas it is as if the forested hillsides have been swept clean of vegetation leaving only a tangle of climbers and vines that hamper regeneration.

Grenada Ecotourism 'National Parks and Centers' http://www.grenadaexplorer.com/Eco-Tourism.htm Grand Etang Lake and National Park: The most popular area in Grenada, for hiking and trekking, is in the rain forest around the Grand Etang Lake, in the central part of the island. This is only a small snapshot of what the island is like in general, as there are several waterfalls, hot springs and plantations where they meander through the hills. Needless to say, the views are exceptional. Grand Etang, however, is a crater lake surrounded by a lush tropical forest and is part of the nature reserve. A series of trails has been marked, and hiking them is well worth the effort. The scenery is breathtaking, with the chance to see a fascinating cross-section of the flora and fauna which make up this rain forest. The trails meander around the area's stunning waterfalls as well as the alluring waters of Grand Etang Lake. Hikes at Grand Etang range from an easy 15 minute walk, to 6 hour long excursions Note: When hurricane Ivan hit the island in September 2004, the rain forests received significant damage. However, almost a year later, there has been amazing re-growth and it won't be long before it is back to its lush beauty.

Endangered Grenada Dove Set to Lose Vital Habitat, 
From Laura Klappenbach,Jan 7 2007. Grenada Government Plans to Sell National Park to Resort Developers  - The Grenada dove (Leptotila wellsi) is set to lose a large portion of its dry-forest habitat as plans take shape to build a luxury hotel in what is now Grenada's Mount Hartman National Park. The Grenada Government is preparing to sell off the national park to the Four Seasons Hotels and Resort Group who intend to construct a 150-room hotel, 300 luxury villas, and a golf course on the site. 
The Mount Hartman National Park, also called 'The Dove Sanctuary', is located in the southwest region of Grenada. It was established as a nature sanctuary in 1996 and was created as a means to compensate for habitat destruction elsewhere on the island. It currently supports 20 pairs of Grenada doves, one quarter of the worldwide population.  http://animals.about.com/od/birds/a/grenadadovethre.htm
