“Which island is that? It’s something we like on our food,” asked National Parks Trust Planning Officer Nancy Woodfield-Pascoe, quizzing a handful of Seventh-day Adventist School students.

At about 1,300 feet above sea level, the observation deck at the top of Gorda Peak National Park offered an ideal vantage point from which to see the territory’s geography. Even through the haze last Thursday morning, a dozen named islands and cays could be spotted clearly.
The class three students got priority for climbing up on to the observation deck since they’re getting tested on local geography this term, said Ann Marie John, the class’s teacher and the school’s primary division supervisor.
A little further down the trail, class one and two students were getting a different quiz from Keith Grant, the NPT’s senior terrestrial warden.
