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!

WLT conserves open space, revitalizes culturally significant properties and provides environmental programs for the enduring benefit of our community.

Our first Wednesday Wonder Walk was truly wonderful! 🍂✨

Families explored Wahaneeta with curiosity- studying leaves, and lichen up close, climbing over logs, and discovering every corner of the cabin together.

We’re so excited to partner with @wildrootsplay.ri for these monthly nature adventures. 💚

Join us for the next Wonder Walk on January 14th: Feathered Friends at Grills Preserve! Come walk, wonder, and grow with us!

This season of gratitude brings to mind the Westerly Land Trust’s pick for our 2025 book club last April: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This book promotes the benefits of the gift economy, encouraging readers to count the gifts the land gives us—food, water, wildlife, inspiration—and then reciprocate through stewardship, care, and conservation. Kimmerer speaks to the joy that’s born out of this gift giving cycle, saying,

“To name the world as a gift is to feel your membership
�in a web of reciprocity.”

As a part of the Westerly Land Trust community—whether you’re a donor, a volunteer, an advocate, a student, or the like—we hope you feel your special place in our web of reciprocity. Your continued care returns to the earth, enriching our shared landscapes and nurturing our community. And for this we tip our hats, and send this message of thanks:

From all of us at the Westerly Land Trust, thank you for building bridges between neighbors and nature, for believing in the importance of protecting these special places, and most of all, for being a part of our family.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🌳
