Current Projects

Thanks to support from hundreds of generous donors, ALT has recently conserved two key properties: Spruce Acres Farm and Little Creek Preserve. Both will soon be open to the public for hiking, bird watching, picnicking and other healthy enjoyments. Improvements are needed for each, and we thank you in advance for helping ALT to maximize the potential of these beautiful sites. Your contributions will provide great benefit to our island community. Thank you!

Little Creek Preserve is a spectacular 15.6-acre property that abuts the Sakonnet Greenway Trail, off of Bramans Lane in Portsmouth. With the generous support of hundreds of donors, ALT has raised the funds required to conserve it forever. Your donation to the Trailside Park will help us make the necessary site improvements to make this property publicly accessible. Improvements include trail and boardwalk creation, parking upgrades, and park amenities such as benches and picnic tables. Every gift is important – thank you!

Spruce Acres Farm is the newest public park on Aquidneck Island, and we welcome you to visit! The park features the 1.5-mile Gewirz Trail, which winds throughout the 22.67-acre property. It is open to the public from dawn to dusk daily. Spruce Acres is located at 1286 East Main Road, Middletown, RI.

We are currently raising funds for other park improvements, such as the installation of park benches and picnic tables. Please donate to our Spruce Acres Improvement Fund here, or contact
Laura Freedman Pedrick, Development Director, (lpedrick@ailt.org or 401-849-2799, ext. 18) to learn how you can donate a bench or other item in honor of someone. Thank you!
