For Teachers

Virgin Islands National Park welcomes teachers! The Park is a wonderful resource for teaching students about the animals, plants, geology, astronomy and human history of St. John. Please visit Plan A Field Trip to find out about our Ranger-led school field trips. Guest Speakers will give more information about Ranger visits to school classrooms. |

The Machineel tree, found along the coast, produces crab apple-like fruit that is poisonous. While the fruit is deadly [as Columbus’ men reportedly found out in 1493 when visiting the island], even sap from the Machineel tree can cause an irritating skin rash. The tree is also called Death Apple.
