                         Department and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grant Facility,
             84          RVA restored the trail and taught in schools about the importance of protecting
                         biodiversity giving lessons about climate change, biodiversity, climate smart
                         agriculture and ecotourism in eight North Leeward communities. Ten persons
                         were hired to clear the trail, remove logs, make look out spots, benches and

                         repair steps. Fifteen information signs were also created to provide visitors with
                         directions, advice and information.

                         The Leeward trail is approximately 5 miles (8 km) long and offers visitors breath-
                         taking panoramic views of the surrounding land and seascape, as well as close
                         encounters with flora and fauna.
