PENDING LAY OFFS AT SAINT LUCIA NATIONAL TRUST

The St. Lucian National Trust will have to slash wages and implement lay-offs to stay afloat in the pandemic. According to Chair Alison King, the Trust made some $197,000 from April to October 2020- well short of what’s needed to run the organization. The situation has been compounded by the government’s decision a few years ago to withdraw the conservation group’s State-backed subvention.
