Aquidneck Island Land Trust


The Aquidneck Island Land Trust (ATL) is a non-profit organization that was started by a group of passionate and committed local individuals in 1990. This organization is responsible for saving over 2,000 acres of precious land across the island. The members and trustees hope to “ save the natural character, environmental health and economic value of Aquidneck Island”.  Along with saving this valuable land, the ALT also promotes and protects
·      Clean drinking water,
·      Wildlife habitats and biodiversity
·      Agricultural resources
·      Reduced greenhouse gases and energy consumption
·      Scenic visits
·      Recycling
·      Green electricity
·      Educational opportunities
I will soon post some pictures of the land that has been saved to the efforts of these local people!
