Common Buckeye pausing just long enough for a quick photo at Goosewing Beach Preserve. Love those eyespots! Southern New England is at the edge of their range, and they move up the coast in September in search of food.

Ariadna Talavera was right at home in a summer-long internship on Narragansett Bay with TNC's coastal restoration team. She's passionate about learning through fieldwork and hopes to pursue a conservation career that centers community-based values. Thanks Ari!

Streetscape improvements in the Conant Thread District, funded in part by two Municipal Resilience Program action grants. New parklets and plantings beautify the area, absorb stormwater, and improve pedestrian safety in a growing community within walking distance of the Pawtucket/Central Falls rail station.

The new Green Bond will provide $25M to invest in similar resilience projects across Rhode Island.

Thanks City of Pawtucket - Mayor's Office, City of Central Falls, RI and Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank for an inspiring tour!

CONSERVED! 2,200 acres of forest west of Tallahassee, adding to a 22,000-acre wildlife corrido in North Florida. It's an important area for Gopher Tortoises and Indigo Snakes and the reintroduction of fire on these former timberlands will enhance wildlife habitat. Congratulations to The Nature Conservancy in Florida!
