PETREA PLACE AND THE NEW FREEBIRD RESTAURANT In 2004, another dream of the Pointe-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust was realized. The Grand Opening of Petrea Place by His Excellency The President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Professor Maxwell Richards. Petrea Place was named after the many Petrea Trees growing in the area and linked to the Trust by a Nature Walk. Petrea Place is a unique facility that caters to business executives, policy makers, scientists and researchers both locally and abroad or simply for those wishing to spend some quiet time. In 2017, Petrea Place changed operators, Rhenard and Rhe-Anne Callender a brother, sister duo. Together they manage the Trust’s very first ‘Farm to Table’ Restaurant, Freebird. The new Restaurant offers superb menus in a quiet and harmonious area of the Trust conducive to complete relaxation and providing facilities for special occasions, birthdays, weddings, retreats, corporate workshops and seminars. To enjoy a fine meal at the Freebird Restaurant reservations must be made at 658-5322. See also their Facebook and Instagram pages, Freebirdtt.
