Recently, Stewardship Manager Sean Grandy spoke to the University of Rhode Island Introduction to Forest Science class. Students learned about Aquidneck Island Land Trust, old-growth forests, Beech Leaf Disease, forest management at Oakland Forest & Meadow Preserve, and Bartlett Tree Experts' research into Beech Leaf Disease management at the preserve. Later in the day, the class got the chance to visit the forest and discuss some of the management challenges in the field, as well as observe some of the solutions - such as invasive plant control and native tree tubing - in action.

Vote YES on the Green Bond tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3, to help protect the places we love. This year’s bond would authorize $55 million in state borrowing to strengthen climate resiliency, preserve open space, and protect farmland across Rhode Island.

Its impact is close to home. The bond includes $3 million for farmland conservation statewide, continuing funding that has helped us protect nine farms totaling 320 acres—including Aquidneck Island’s beloved Escobar’s Farm and Spruce Acres.

A yes vote builds on that lasting legacy. Please join us in protecting Rhode Island’s farms and open spaces for future generations.
