Join us for the Town Pond Restoration Tour
Town Pond — October 22 9 a.m. at the end of Bayview Road Tour the salt marsh restoration project underway at Town Pond in Portsmouth, an area conserved by an Aquidneck Land Trust conservation easement. The project will restore the rich, natural salt marsh ecosystem that once existed on this site. The $3.5 million restoration is being accomplished through a public/private partnership among the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, R.I. Department of Environmental Management, Narragansett Bay Estuary Program, Aquidneck Land Trust, and a variety of other organizations.
The tour will be led by Tom Ardito, Director of Policy and Communications for the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program. Plan to meet at 9 a.m., on October 22 at the end of Bayview Road, rain or shine. Space is limited. RSVP Andy Arkway at aarkway@ailt.org by October 19th. Find out about this cooperative effort to restore a valuable part of our natural heritage.
