Little Creek Preserve
We did it! Little Creek Preserve will be permanently conserved and become a publicly-accessible open space, thanks to the generous support of over 300 individuals, businesses, and foundations. Donations to Little Creek are still much needed for site improvements. Thank you, Aquidneck Island!
This new site features information on ALT’s farm conservation work and provides resources for local farmers. The 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.
