Natural Crafts Fort-De-France & Area

A short but sporty hike… It starts on the small path that goes along the water treatment plant on the right. After a steep descent, you will cross a dark tunnel and will reach in twenty minutes a first waterfall. After crossing the river and following a narrow path, you will then reach a second crystal clear waterfall (another 20 minutes walk). Don't forget your bathing suit, a flashlight and especially your picnic! Not recommended for children under 8 years old because some passages are very steep.

The Regional Natural Park of Martinique was born in 1976 from the desire to combine the economic development of the island with the preservation of its natural and cultural wealth. Since its creation, it has contributed to raising awareness of the link between nature and culture within the Martinican identity. The PNRM implements projects throughout the territory of the Park, which covers two thirds of the island, i.e. 32 municipalities. It intervenes in particular on :

- the diversification of the tourist offer in terms of green tourism, ecotourism and agritourism;

- the development of local products;

- the preservation of landscapes;

- raising awareness of respect for the environment and the need for eco-citizen behaviour;

- the animation and promotion of the territory;

- the protection of the land;

- the implementation of scientific studies on biodiversity ;

- training in environmental professions.

In this socio-educational agricultural farm, there is of course a "production" centre where vegetables, fruit, herbs and medicinal plants are produced, a "nature" centre which houses a leisure centre for children from 3 to 11 years old, all governed by the "transmission" centre and the "social" centre, the main thread of learning. Within this structure, early learning and games are combined with nature and animals to offer another way of learning, while having fun and, if possible, strengthening the bond between parents and children. In addition to their interventions throughout the year, the teams of the P'tite Ferme Eco propose during the holidays an airy centre that combines leisure, nature and learning. Workshops are organised around education on food, taste, the environment, Martinique's cultural heritage, but also self-respect and respect for others. Another way of seeing and understanding the world.
