Antigua and Barbuda is an island nation located in the Lesser Antilles in the Eastern Caribbean Sea, consisting of Antigua, Barbuda and the small uninhabited island of Redonda. Cedar Grove is not a city in the country, but an important natural reserve and ecological landmark on the island of Antigua. This woodland, dominated by Caribbean cedar, is one of the few remaining primary tropical dry forests on the island and has a unique biodiversity.
Located in the southwestern part of the island of Antigua, the Cedar Grove covers an area of approximately 5 square kilometers of undulating terrain and dense vegetation. It harbors a variety of endemic birds, reptiles and insects such as the Antiguan black snake and the red-boned topiary. The forest area is protected through the National Park System and is an important base for ecotourism and scientific research, where visitors can explore the jungle trails on foot and observe the native flora and fauna.
The Cedar Grove is surrounded by traditional villages, such as Johnson's Point, whose inhabitants depend on forestry and tourism for their livelihoods. Combining nature education and cultural heritage, the area offers bird watching, photography and environmental activities, making it one of the centerpieces of Antigua's ecotourism, attracting nature lovers from around the globe to experience the serenity and mystery of the pristine Caribbean forests.
