Welcome!

Hello my name is Julia and welcome to my blog! I hope to spread my own personal knowledge about the conservation efforts taking place on Aquidneck Island.  Aquidneck Island consists of three towns, Portsmouth, Middletown and Newport. Each area has its own natural beauty that incorporates breathtaking farmland along with stunning coastline. I was born and raised in Newport, Rhode Island, a small coastal community enriched with history and beautiful landscapes. I grew up swimming and surfing at the local beaches along with hiking and exploring the land around me. I feel so fortunate to have been raised in such a picturesque environment and I hope to convey this natural beauty here in my blog. Even though much of the scenery and landscapes have been saved because of the efforts of local people, in my lifetime I have seen this land fall victim to housing developments and other projects. I hope to capture these various landscapes and views in order to encourage others to take part in their own conservation efforts. I am anticipating my trip home to Newport where I can further show you my natural surroundings from the perspective of a local.
