ALT Annual Fund
The land protection work we do is funded in part by your generous gifts to our Annual Appeal. No gift is too small, and every gift helps us conserve more land. Thank you!
5K Race Photos
Check out our new 5K Race for Open Space photo album! Our great thanks to all who participated, sponsored, and volunteered with us…we had a great event and raised funds to conserve more open space on Aquidneck Island. See you at the 2020 Race for Open Space on Saturday, November 7, 2020.
Little Creek Open
Little Creek Preserve is now open to the public, and we invite you to visit! Walk the new 1/2-mile nature trail and enjoy the abundant wildlife on this 15.28-acre property. There is a small parking lot on Bramans Lane (across from Malee Terrace), or visitors may park at other Sakonnet Greenway Trail parking areas and hike in to the new Little Creek loop.
Our New Video!
We are delighted to share our new video with you! See how ALT’s efforts to conserve our land and water resources benefit everyone by protecting the scenic vistas, local agriculture, drinking water supply, and wildlife habitat that make Aquidneck Island special.
Amazing Birds III!
Register now for Amazing Birds III, a new course on birding taught by professional ornithologist Dr. Charles Clarkson. Classes will meet on Tuesday, April 7, 14, 21, and 28 at the Greenvale Vineyards Tasting Room. There will also be Saturday field trips. All are welcome and no prior knowledge is necessary.
NEW! Moon Walk
Register now for an (Almost) Full Moon Walk on Wednesday, November 20, at 5:30 p.m. at Spruce Acres Farm (1286 East Main Road, Middletown). It will be a chilly fall evening and (hopefully!) perfect for watching a beautiful moon rise. Bring a flashlight and wear sturdy shoes. Tickets are limited. Free.
ALT Trails
Looking for a walk, run, or hike on a nature trail? ALT offers three trail systems, spread over dozens of conserved properties. The longest trail is the Sakonnet Greenway Trail, which is over 10 miles long! Shorter trails are easily accessible at Spruce Acres and Oakland Forest. See you on the trail!
