The Westerly Land Trust

What’s better on a hot day than escaping the office for oysters, boats, and beer? 🦪☀️

On Wednesday, WLT hosted 70+ team members from our generous Corporate Sponsor, ParsonsKellogg of Providence, for a special field trip to Winnapaug Farm Preserve. The visit gave them a firsthand look at how their support makes a real difference in Westerly.

To show our appreciation, we arranged boat tours of the Watch Hill Oysters farm, followed by fresh oyster sampling and cold Grey Sail brews.🍻🌊

Huge thanks to Grey Sail Brewing of RI for the refreshing beers, to Watch Hill Oysters for the scenic tours and delicious oysters, and of course, to ParsonsKellogg for championing land conservation in Westerly. 💚

Congratulations to our favorite brewery around, Grey Sail Brewing of RI, for being Rhode Island’s first brewery recognized by Better Bev for outstanding environmental practices! 🌱🎉

Through their partnership with RIDEM’s Green Breweries Program, Grey Sail is reducing their environmental impact by installing solar panels, investing in carbon capture, donating spent grain to local farms, and more. Sustainability never tasted so good!

Additionally, we are proud to call Grey Sail a longtime partner and friend. They have supported WLT’s work as a Corporate Sponsor since 2018, and have donated many tasty, cold beverages for events like the Farm Dinner, President’s Circle Reception, and Crews and Brews. 🍻

Thanks, Grey Sail, for leading the way in both sustainability and community support! 💚

🌳Last Thursday, we hosted our first event at Champlin Farm Preserve. Our President’s Circle reception honored our closest supporters and celebrated this recently-protected 90-acre property. Many thanks to Grey Sail Brewing of RI for donating cold beverages on this warm night. 🥂

🥾Since October 2024, WLT staff and volunteers (the CCC) have been working hard to blaze trails and create a parking area at the entrance of Champlin Farm Preserve. Please check it out! It is quite a special place. (64 Boombridge Road in Westerly)

The Westerly Land Trust would like to sincerely thank all the donors who help conserve and steward more than 1,800 acres of open space in Westerly. 💚

Our friends at Tractor Supply in Pawcatuck went above and beyond, donating loads of garden supplies, including seeds and seedlings, for our upcoming summer sessions of Farm Squad! 🥗

In just a few weeks we’ll kick off this program at Barlow Nature Preserve. Here, Westerly’s K-4th graders will learn through first-hand experience how seeds grow into vegetables, along with lots of other lessons of farm life.

Thank you, @tractorsupply , for supporting local environmental and agricultural education! 🚜
