A Vision for Growth
Local land trusts are hard at work protecting Rhode Island’s important landscapes, ensuring our citizens benefit from clean air & water, healthy food systems, recreational opportunities, and enhanced wildlife habitat. Over the next four years (2023-2026), we will fundraise in order to grow the capacity of the Rhode Island Land Trust Council’s programs and services, and help land trusts have what they need to succeed.
