Preserved Land & Trails
"This aspiration for land conservation will be not reached alone by how much nature we can put aside, but by how much love and respect for the land we can engender in the greatest number of people.." - Peter Forbes, Author and Conservationist People are more likely to take care of that which they love and cherish. By providing opportunities for people to get out and directly experience nature and the land through the Aquidneck Land Trust's public trails, ALT hopes to help develop what Aldo Leopold called an "intense consciousness of land," and deep love and respect for our environment. The Aquidneck Land Trust invites you to enjoy some of Aquidneck Island's special preserved properties. On the Oakland Forest and Meadow Trail you will catch a glimpse of Aquidneck Island as it was when the Native Americans first met the European settlers approximately 300 years ago as you walk through the old growth American beech forest. On the Sakonnet Greenway Trail, we hope that you'll enjoy the multitude of environments that the trail runs through (recreational lands, forest lands, agricultural lands, etc.). |
