Thanks to the Little Compton Garden Club members for giving us a grant for the repair of a section of wall along John Dyer road at our Blanchard Blazer property. Ben Cawley of Cawley's Stoneworks has been busy this week and this section looks great.
The importance of these dry-laid, heaped-piled stone walls in Little Compton can't be emphasized enough. They are a part of the rich heritage of the area and some are thought to date back to the 1600's.

The Town of Little Compton is currently preparing a Hazard Mitigation & Flood Management Plan (HM&FMP) with the goal of reducing the impacts from future disasters on the people and property in Little Compton. Our Board President Abigail Brooks is a member of the Advisory Committee overseeing the project, and we want to make sure the Plan reflects community priorities and concerns. To assist with that goal, the Committee created a short online survey which we are hoping you would consider taking. The survey should take less than 8 minutes to complete. Please go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/28YL6YZ
to take the survey and please share with all your family and friends.
