  • We are so admiring of everything you do – your focus, the quality of your programs, the open space you preserve and steward and the urban initiative. These align with our values, and we feel lucky to have you out there promoting this critical perspective.

     

    Penny Parsekian

  • When we moved to Westerly a few years ago and learned about the wonderful things that The Land Trust was doing we immediately joined. It has been a pleasure to work on some of their many activities and the members have been very welcoming to us.

Did you know that taking care of house plants can benefit your mind and body in many ways?🪴

Big thanks to @curlyruplants and Liz from @plantsbythevillage for bringing so much knowledge and love of plants to Barlow at our Houseplants 101 event this past week! 💟

Fellow plant enthusiasts got their hands dirty, discovered many plant parenthood tips, asked questions to troubleshoot problem plants at home, and even got to take home a new friend! 🌿

Happy Leap Day! February has an extra day every four years because it takes Earth 365.2422 days to orbit the sun - a solar year. ☀️

Our calendar year is rounded to 365 days so a Leap Year is needed to make up for the missing partial days. 

🐸How are you spending this extra day?
