Trailside Park at Little Creek
Phase Two for Little Creek Preserve will create a lovely trailside park! Your donation will help us extend the Greenway Trail, install a boardwalk to the seasonal pond, create a picnic area for hikers and more! Thank you!
This new site features information on ALT’s farm conservation work and provides resources for local farmers. Land-Link matches up those seeking farmland with those who have it to lease. Check out ALT-conserved farmland and our new Farmland Conservation Plan.
Register now for the best 5K race on the Island! The route is on the conserved Sakonnet Greenway Trail and is fun for all ages. Walk or run…and enjoy prizes, gifts, refreshments, and camaraderie on a beautiful autumn morning.
Local schools are invited to enter artwork and written work from their students in the 2018 Sixteen on Center Art & Writing Contest. The subject is “Your Favorite Aquidneck Island Vista.” Cash prizes for winners and their schools!
