Order Your Birdhouse
Support WLT and our local birds by ordering a hand-built birdhouse. New in 2025: we’re making one design that comes with two exchangeable doors. One door will have a larger hole for bluebirds, and the other will have a smaller hole for wrens, nuthatches, etc. Each birdhouse comes with detailed installation instructions, notes about the different species, and a bag of wood shavings to give the birds a head start. Order yours today; they will be available for pick up at Barlow Nature Preserve (449 Westerly Bradford Road). Please direct questions to Marc at [email protected].
2025 Westerly Land Trust Calendars
Keep track of all your important dates in the New Year while admiring the beauty of Westerly Land Trust land with the 2025 calendar. Featured within are the winning images of the 2024 WLT photo contest. Proceeds support our local land conservation and environmental programing.
Westerly Land Trust Beanies
Keep your ears warm and stay safe on the trails, all while signaling your support for WLT’s conservation efforts. Order your bright orange beanie via the button below and pick it up at our office at Barlow Nature Preserve (449 Westerly-Bradford Road; 401-315-2610).

Second Serve Resale strives to lower consumption of new clothing by promoting the benefits of resale.
This nonprofit organization was founded in Westerly, RI, by a dedicated team of volunteers, Amy Hebb, Susan Demovick, and Patti Ghezzi, who were fed up with the fast fashion industry and the increasing amount of wasted clothing. They took note that resale was becoming a big business, and then asked the question, “Could resale profits be redirected to nonprofit organizations?” And that’s just what Second Serve does– they sell donated clothes and contribute a whopping 85% of the proceeds to their nonprofit partners.
In June 2023, the Westerly Land Trust was invited to be a beneficiary of Second Serve’s good work. It is a win for everyone—you get beautiful *like-new* clothes (some still have tags), landfills stay a little less full, and WLT forges ahead in our conservation work, protecting more than 1,700 acres and 25 miles of hiking trails.
To shop Second Serve and learn more about their mission, please visit secondserveresale.org. Once your bag is full, we would be honored if you’d select the Westerly Land Trust as the recipient of 85% of your sale.
Thank you for your mindful and intentional clothing shopping!
Gray Goose Cookery, owned and operated by Suzanne and Bob Lane and located at 93 Watch Hill Road, is a one stop cooking shop where you’ll find every kitchen tool imaginable and a particularly generous deal: if you make a donation to the Westerly Land Trust while at their shop, they will sharpen your knives for free! Sharp knives are safe knives, so be sure to bring yours to Gray Goose Cookery at any point in the year (but this is particularly important around the turkey carving holidays). Bon appetit!

Many thanks to the @thewatchhillconservancy for hosting the WLT team for a windy walk at Napatree Point Conservation Area yesterday. 🌊
🐧Did you know that Napatree has been designated a “Globally Important Bird Area” by the National Audubon Society and a “Climate Response Demonstration Site” by the University of Rhode Island Coastal Institute?
There is so much good environmental research and conservation work going on right here in Westerly, and we are proud to call the Watch Hill Conservancy friends and allies in these endeavors. 🌾
