SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Westerly Land Trust Farm Dinner
DESCRIPTION:The Westerly Land Trust’s 2026 Farm Dinner is now SOLD OUT\nTo add your name to the WAIT LIST\, please click here. \nThe Farm Dinner is our favorite event of the year; an evening spent enjoying good company and celebrating the bounty of the land. On Saturday\, September 12th\, we’ll set our table at the Barlow Nature Preserve\, the 80-acre parcel that over the past 6 years has evolved past Westerly Land Trust’s homebase into our home. We’ve watched the two working farms here\, Frontier Farm and Echo Rock Flowers\, mature over the years\, luring residents and visitors with the promise of fresh\, local\, nutritious food and beautiful flowers. Year-round\, tiny\, giddy voices can be heard\, as young students chase bees and marvel at how a seed becomes a plump tomato. This land and all 1\,900+ acres in WLT’s charge are worthy of a night like the Farm Dinner! \nWith this in mind\, we have invited the inspiring husband-and-wife team behind Whitecrest Eatery and the Back Door Kitchen & Pizzeria\, Johan Jensen and Abbey Hemmann\, to plan and prepare our entire 2026 Farm Dinner menu. Johan is known for his globally influenced flavors and “dishes that are as exciting as they are delicious.” Abbey’s idea of a perfect dining experience is “a place where every guest feels right at home\, everyone feels like they’re part of the family\, and every visit feels like a celebration.” \n \nSo join us for our 2026 Farm Dinner on Saturday\, September 12th beginning at 3:30pm — gather with friends and neighbors out on the land and enjoy a fabulous meal prepared entirely with local ingredients. \n\nTo add your name to the WAIT LIST\, please click here. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the table! \nDue to the nature of this event\, we are unable to accommodate individual dietary restrictions. \n\nSpecial Thanks to the 2026 Farm Dinner’s Presenting Sponsor: South County Tourism Council \n \n

SUMMARY:Rhode Island Stone Walls
DESCRIPTION:Explore how thousands of miles of historic stone walls reveal the intersection of the state’s geology\, history\, and ecology.\nRhode Island’s stone walls are an enduring testament to the state’s agricultural heritage\, and their story parallels that of Rhode Island itself. Their stones reflect the geologic forces that shaped the landscape. Their placement on the land speaks to the labor and lives of those who came before us. In this presentation\, Elliot Vosburgh\, founder of the Rhode Island Stone Wall Mapping Project\, explores how thousands of miles of stone walls reflect the intersection of geology\, history\, and ecology. Drawing on examples from both across the state and locally in Westerly\, attendees will gain an appreciation for stone walls from several perspectives and will learn how these relics continue to support us in developing an understanding of Rhode Island’s past and present landscape. \nClick HERE to sign up!\nImportant Info \n\nParking is available at Barlow Nature Preserve\nThis event is no cost for WLT members\, and $10 per person for not-yet members.\nNot a WLT member and would like to be? CLICK HERE!\nRegistration is required\, spots are limited.
