Strawberry Hill guests assisted the preservation and conservation of this important habitat by allowing the hotel to donate from your stay at Strawberry Hill, and the guest can also contribute separately as every dollar is important to help preserve the unique species of plants, lizards, frogs, birds and butterflies that are to be found here. Book one of the Holywell walks or birdwatching tours and enjoy the habitat you are helping to save.

The Blue & John Crow National Park is 78,000 ha (almost 200,000 acres) covering the steep mountain slopes of ten watersheds and sections of the parishes of St. Andrew, Portland, St. Thomas and St. Mary. The montane rain-forests of the Park are recognized globally for their high biological diversity and threatened status.

The Mount Horeb priority conservation area located in Hardware Gap, St. Andrew, consists of about 700 acres of tropical montane rainforest, and is the most significant remaining forested area of the entire Port Royal Mountain range.

• US$20 will grow 10 native trees for reforestation
• US$100 allows Park rangers to patrol Mount Horeb one day a week for the month
• US$250 will control invasives in a rehabilitated acre for 1 year
• US$500 will rehabilitate ½ acre of degraded forest
