The Westerly Land Trust Earns National Recognition with Renewed Accreditat

We are proud to report the Westerly Land Trust has renewed its accreditation through the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, proving once again that, as a part of a network of more than 450 accredited land trusts across the nation, we are committed to professional excellence and to maintaining the public’s trust in conservation work. Through this process, we continue to demonstrate that we have sound finances, practice ethical conduct and responsible governance, and can ensure lasting stewardship.

In 2017, WLT underwent the voluntary, yet rigorous process to achieve accreditation for the first time. Accreditation is not a one-time action, but a tool to foster continuous improvement; therefore, participating land trusts repeat the process every five years to ensure growth and development of the organizations.

Accredited land trusts now steward almost 20 million acres- the size of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire combined.

We are humbled by the support of the Westerly community. You’ve signaled that care deeply about the protection and conservation of local open space. Thank you for your partnership!

Did you know that taking care of house plants can benefit your mind and body in many ways?🪴

Big thanks to @curlyruplants and Liz from @plantsbythevillage for bringing so much knowledge and love of plants to Barlow at our Houseplants 101 event this past week! 💟

Fellow plant enthusiasts got their hands dirty, discovered many plant parenthood tips, asked questions to troubleshoot problem plants at home, and even got to take home a new friend! 🌿

Happy Leap Day! February has an extra day every four years because it takes Earth 365.2422 days to orbit the sun - a solar year. ☀️

Our calendar year is rounded to 365 days so a Leap Year is needed to make up for the missing partial days. 

🐸How are you spending this extra day?
