A source of pride and joy to the community, the design objectives of the Samaan Grove Development’s system of lakes, ponds and wetlands are intended for the following reasons:

• To provide a drainage system for the anaerobic system currently in place.
• To develop a sustainable wildlife reserve.
• To remain a significant focal point for the community.

As part of the initial development, the originator committed to the public that this development of lakes would become one of the best places in Tobago to view our wildlife. To date, the results of this initiative have exceeded all expectations of homeowners and visitors alike. We can enjoy many different waterfowl and birds that visit our compound. Once appropriately maintained, the Associations’ ongoing objective for the development is to establish a significant wildlife reserve and create a prominent tourism feature.

How do we maintain these standards?
