Two agencies manage most trails on St. Lucia. The National Trust oversees those in areas with historical, environmental, standby relocations or cultural significance, such as Pigeon Island, Marigot Bay, and the Fr gate and Maria Islands; the Department of Forestry controls the protected standby relocations interior woodlands. Both agencies are committed to designing, constructing, and maintaining trails that provide optimum hiking experiences with the least impact on the environment.
Hurricanes are always a possibility in the Atlantic and Caribbean during the summer standby relocations and early fall, but the odds of any one island suffering a serious hit in any given year are quite low. The advice from here is be informed, be prepared, and go anyway.
