Established in 1776, the Main Ridge Forest Reserve is the oldest legally protected forest reserve in the western hemisphere. The Main Ridge is composed of volcanic mountains up to 1,900 feet tall, and it begins at the northeast tip of Tobago and stretches approximately two thirds of the way down the island. Often called the "backbone of Tobago," this area is home to an estimated 16 species of mammal, 24 species of snake, and 16 species of lizard. There are also more than 200 species of birds living here, and a variety of fascinating guided birdwatching tours are available.
