Our Programs

Ecotourism

 Discover unique flora and fauna, breathtaking landscapes, and fascinating wildlife in their natural habitats: seagrass beds, coral reefs, forests, and beaches.

​

Explore from the land at one of the 44 trailheads stewarded by many partners across the Territory (ALL TRAILS) or walk, boat, and fish along our shores and waters (FISHER HANDBOOK)!

Support

The purpose of the organization is to support the work of the Department of Planning and Natural Resources’ Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Division of Territorial Parks & Protected Areas and its partners to protect, conserve, and promote the responsible use of the natural and cultural resources of the Virgin Islands for present and future generations.  

Camping

Experience the thrill of sitting on the beach by a fire, confident that you are not impacting sea turtles.

 

 Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the great outdoors using one of the NAVI fire rings found throughout the Territory

Community Spaces

Capture the beauty of nature through the lens of your camera. 

​

The NAVI hosts a variety of outdoor and community spaces for learning, cooling, recreation, and fun!

Convene

Indulge yourself. Your mental health needs time outdoors. Our lands and waters are the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and nature.

 

Unwind in peaceful settings and recharge your mind, body, and soul.

Education

Engage in educational programs that promote sustainability and conservation practices. Work force education for young people to learn to scale and clean fish connects us back to our marine roots.
