What our fans have to say

  • The Westerly Land Trust does an excellent job conserving these properties for our enjoyment. The trails are well-maintained and marked.

    Shane Belanger

  • 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.
