Pine Hollow Preserve
Pine Hollow Preserve consists of 30.3 acres of woodlands and wetlands adjacent to the Pawcatuck River in Bradford. The property was set aside from the Laudone cluster development. It includes an historic Peckham family cemetery. The property was transferred from the South County Conservancy in April 2003.

We had so much fun making wreaths last week! Some of the greenery came directly from WLT land foraged by our very own WLT elves!🎄
Big thanks to everyone who helped out and to all who ordered one!! And thanks to @frontierfarmri for letting us use the greenhouse and @broadview_florist_ri for some extra greenery! 💚

Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving tradition? 🍂
For the team at the Westerly Land Trust, one of our favorites has become our annual hike out into the woods of Barlow Nature Preserve in late November to take a group photo. We coordinate a clothing accessory— last year was scarves; the year before that, flannel shirts. This year we chose vests. Someone joked that the caption should read:
Thank you for inVESTing in local land conservation.
(I’ll spare you the details of which teammate made that dreadful pun.)
Joking aside, 2024 was a big year for the Westerly Land Trust: Our education program is booming, complete with a new program designed for our community’s homeschool families. We successfully transferred the Ice Rink to the Town of Westerly— a big win for our Urban Initiative. And most recently, we grew by 90 acres with the permanent protection of Champlin Farm Preserve. 🌳
These Westerly Land Trust successes belong to our community—the real drivers of our growth and achievements.
Without you, we couldn’t do what we do. And maybe it’s this recognition that makes our annual November stroll into the woods that much sweeter— it is a time for us as a team to reflect on the work we do, where we do it, while thinking of the people who make it all possible.💚
From all of us at the Westerly Land Trust,
Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

👏🌳👏 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩: we have permanently protected 90 acres on Boombridge Road along the Pawcatuck River. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲—named for its previous stewards, the Champlin Family— boasts forests, streams, and prime agricultural soils, making this acquisition a huge success for our community’s agriculture, economy, water quality, wildlife habitat, and historic heritage.
To make this possible, WLT secured more than a million dollars of state funding through the Agricultural Land Preservation Commission (ALPC) and the Local Open Space Conservation and Acquisition grant through the RIDEM State of Rhode Island Natural Heritage Preservation Commission. The latter funding was contingent upon WLT obtaining 1:1 matching funds—a goal met with support from the Champlin Foundation, the Bafflin Foundation, ParsonsKellogg, the Forrest and Frances Lattner Foundation, the Horace A. Kimball and S. Ella Kimball Foundation, the Fields Pond Foundation, the Wild and Scenic Stewardship Council, Roddy-Holden Foundation, and the Rhode Island Land Trust Council.
The Westerly Land Trust is grateful for the underpinning of support that made this endeavor possible and for the Champlins’ forethought that set the process in motion. Like all WLT properties, a conservation management plan will be created specifically for this parcel, focusing on sound agricultural practices, habitat preservation, and wildlife protection. WLT also will be considering how best to provide public access to the land and the bordering section of the Pawcatuck River. We look forward to sharing this beautiful landscape with our community.
Your support of the Westerly Land Trust ensures that more than 1,800 acres of land in Westerly, now including the Champlin Farm Preserve, will be protected in perpetuity for the enduring benefit of our community.
