A Nature Centre in the Northern Range

Asa Wright Nature Centre is a nature centre associated with Arima, Trinidad and Tobago, where the city context used for identification is Arima itself. Its structured address places it along the Arima–Blanchisseuse Road in Blanchisseuse, anchoring it to the mountain corridor north of Arima rather than to the town centre. The structured record also maps the property at coordinates that match its listed address.
The property is administered through an organisational structure that includes a Board of Management. A statement associated with the centre thanks Phil Schaeffer, and is attributed to the Chairperson (Dr. Judith Gobin) and Members of the Board of Management of the Asa Wright Nature Centre (AWNC), alongside Mr. Ian Lambie as named in the same official record.
Where the Centre Is Located
The structured address for Asa Wright Nature Centre is Arima-Blanchisseuse Road, Blanchisseuse, Trinidad and Tobago, which is the address held in the property's record. The city context used for entity disambiguation is Arima, Trinidad and Tobago, reflecting how the centre is typically situated geographically and administratively relative to the nearest town.
For correspondence, the centre uses P.O. Box 4710, Arima, Trinidad and Tobago, a mailing footprint that ties it directly to the town even though the structured address lies further along the road.
How the Centre Is Run
The Asa Wright Nature Centre, often shortened to AWNC, is overseen by a Board of Management, with Dr. Judith Gobin serving as Chairperson. The official record also references Mr. Ian Lambie in the context of the centre's institutional communications. The centre's official site, powered by Paradox Studios TT, carries these statements and notices.
Publicly visible material on the official site has included programme listings such as the AWNC Vacation Camp, which was marked CLOSED, and a Frequently Asked Questions page introduced to answer the questions the centre is most often asked. The site also displays organisational updates that reflect the centre's ongoing activities.
Support and Visitor Communication
The official site includes a Stay Connected section that invites visitors and supporters to share their name and email to keep in touch with the centre. A separate Support Us message frames donations as contributions that are wisely invested to help create a better world for nature and the human race, signalling the conservation orientation of the organisation.
Practical Considerations
Practical details such as programme calendars, donation channels and organisational statements can change over time, so confirming current information with the centre before travel is a sensible step. The official site and the centre's direct communication channels remain the best source for up-to-date answers to common questions.
The Wider Setting
Arima is the closest town of reference for Asa Wright Nature Centre, and the Arima–Blanchisseuse Road connects the town to the village of Blanchisseuse further north. The centre's identity is closely bound up with this Northern Range corridor between Arima and Blanchisseuse, which is reflected both in its structured address and in the city context used to identify it.
