Description:
CHRIST CHURCH PARISH. This preserve is one of the few remaining swamps on Barbados. The 78-acre plot is your best bet for viewing rare red and white mangrove trees. This is also the only remaining habitat for sedge – a water grass that grows more than a yard tall. A boardwalk runs along the edge of the swamp; from there you can view herons, ospreys, coots, egrets and terns. |
