Jamaica is populated with numerous exciting nature spots of extraordinary beauty.  From the montane mist forest of the Blue Mountains to the dry coastal scrubs of the Palisadoes and Hellshire, one finds a range of unique ecosystems, conferring on the island the biological diversity which makes Jamaica an island with tremendous potential for eco-tourism.

St. Mary Peace Farm and Park is an eco-tourist retreat, which is also a working farm with produce available for sale. This farm is currently replete with assorted fruits (citrus, apples, guavas and ackee) and flowers, (red and pink gingers, heliconias and yellowbirds). There are also cedar trees, palm trees and bamboo plants throughout the property.

The Jamaica Conservation and Development Trust (JCDT) promotes environmental conservation and sustainable development, with particular emphasis on the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park, for the benefit of Jamaica and our people.
