Message from the Director
Welcome to the Division of Territorial Parks & Protected Areas where the team is focused on creating VI Parks for VI People. As this division grows and we make progress on the creation of the Territorial Parks System we are excited to work with the communities of the Virgin Islands and look forward to opportunities to share our goals, project, and celebrations!
Through the adoption of Act #8609: The Division of Territorial Parks and Protected Areas is charged with the responsibility of identifying, supervising, administering, managing, regulating, and controlling the use and operation of all public campgrounds, natural areas, scenic waysides, historic sites, recreational trails, monuments, marine trails, marine parks, and other classified protected sites in the territorial parks system.
