Wallings is a forest and locale located in the Shekerley Mountains of Antigua. Wallings is an official forest reserve located in government lands in the Leeward Islands moist forests. One of seven forest reserves under the Environmental Protection and Management of 2015, the park is intended to protect its unique wildlife and forest cover.[1] It is an important bird area for Antigua and Barbuda.[2][3] The Wallings Nature Reserve was formally established in 2018 as the first community-run national park in the country.[4] The head office of the park is located in John Hughes. Prior to the establishment of the park, the locality was mostly used for its water resources– a dam was constructed here in 1890, as well as another in 1945.[5]
