It was amazing to see the Northern Lights in RI last night! ๐
The Northern Lights occur when charged particles from the solar wind collide with Earthโs magnetic field and atmosphere, creating the displays of light we see.

โธ๏ธโBy transferring the ice rink properties to the Town, WLTโs Urban Initiativeโs goals for this property have come to fruition,โ said Nicholas Stahl, President of the Westerly Land Trust. โMany thanks to the Royce Family Fund and the Town of Westerly for their partnership in making this possible.โ
On Friday, September 27, the Westerly Land Trust in partnership with the Royce Family Fund successfully transferred ownership of the ice rink on Main Street to the Town of Westerly. Offloading land may sound counter to a land trustโs mission, but here is where our Urban Initiative makes us unique. In contrast to the conservation properties, which will be managed by WLT in perpetuity, the goal for urban properties is to improve them and then transfer them to new operators.
โ๏ธThe two parcels which today hold the Washington Trust Skating Center, 61 and 85 Main Street, came under WLTโs purview in 2005 and 2006 respectively, thanks to a capital investment from the Royce Family Fund. In the two decades since, significant investments have been made to maximize the operation of the ice rink and to create a community resource enjoyed by thousands of people every year. The Ocean Community YMCA expertly managed and operated the rink for thirteen years, and the Town has signaled their intent to maintain and manage the rink into the future.

Last week, WLT hosted nearly 40 conservationists from across the country on a field trip to explore Dr. John Champlin Glacier Park and Winnapaug Farm Preserve as a part of the @ltalliance annual conference Rally, held this year in Providence. ๐ณ
Our visitors, none of which were from Rhode Island, got a hyperlocal taste (literally) of Westerly! ๐ฆช
Many thanks to Winley Ferguson of @savethebayri for leading an informative (and soggy) hike through the marsh, to Jeff Gardner and his team from @watchhilloysters for the up close and personal tour of their oyster farm in the Winnapaug Pond (and for their skillful shucking), and to @greysail for providing tasty beverages once we returned to shore. โ๏ธ
