The Aquidneck Land Trust focuses its efforts every day to preserve our Island's open spaces and natural character for the lasting benefit of our community, embracing soils, waters, plants, animals and people. The Land Trust's work today will outlast our lifetimes many times over. Your membership provides vitally important income to complete acquisitions and protect the ever-increasing number of acres in our care. Further, members serve as ambassadors to convince others to join their support - in thought, word, and deed - of our work.

Membership funds helped fund these recent successes:

•  Increased its holdings to over 1983 acres and welcomed numerous new landowners.
•  The Land Trust closed on the largest conservation easement in its history, thereby preserving over 400 acres that include the Lawton Valley Reservoir, Sisson Pond and St. Mary's Pond, and the associated buffer lands a water resource area that residents from Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth depend upon.
•  The Land Trust, Carolann Brown, and the Town of Portsmouth successfully conserved over 28 acres on Sandy Pint Avenue and Glen Farm Road in Portsmouth.  The Town of Portsmouth became the new landowner of this strategic parcel which abuts The Glen while the Land Trust received a perpetual Conservation Easement on the land.
•   The Land Trust hosted renowned preservationist James Howard Kunstler with his presentation "The Long Emergency and Its Implications on Land Use"
