Land Trust Days is a statewide, 2 month celebration of the many special places protected by land trusts. Land trusts across the state host activities to share the special places they are protecting for everyone, young and old to enjoy. These events include guided walks, community festivals, full moon walks, farm tours and a whole lot more.

Please note: some events may require registration outside of MeetUp. Please read event descriptions carefully.

Check out our website for Land Trust sponsored activities. Rhode Island Land Trust Days is a project of the Rhode Island Land Trust Council.

Please note that events are posted to this group on behalf of land trusts across Rhode Island. The members of this group generally do not 'meet up' officially, but rather attend the events as participants. If you'd like to attend with other members, feel free to coordinate in the discussion sections of events.

Squantum Woods Park, Veterans Memorial Pkwy, Riverside, RI 02915, USA, East Providence, RI, US
We will explore two short trails at Squantum Woods. The first trail winds through an area of ledges and streams that was once part of the picnic grounds of the Metropolitan Park Commission. This trail has been recently reopened by the Boys Scouts. The second trail overlooks Long Rock Cove which is a haven for avifauna and will lead us to the highlight of the walk. The walk is just under two miles in total.

From Providence - Interstate 195 East - Take Exit 1B (Riverside) and follow Veterans Memorial Parkway 2 miles to Squantum Woods (on the right). Parking is limited, please pull all the way into the parking area.

GET YOUR TICKETS!

The Jethros band, Stoney Hollow Bar Company from The Beer Field serving up Ragged Island Tiny Truck IPA on draft, mouth watering eats... GET READY FOR A GOOD TIME FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

Admission is $25. 18+ only. Drinks and food will be available for purchase. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, free samples from ISCO Liquors, and more!

All proceeds raised from this event will go directly towards saving Hicks Farm as green space for all. If we succeed in conserving this property, it will be open to the public for passive recreation. Located across from Tom's Market on Main Rd, the 48.8 acres go all the way down to Mount Hope Bay, with 1,350ft of pristine shoreline.

Just imagine hiking through luscious green forest trails and suddenly seeing sparkling water through the branches, then feeling the ocean breeze as you emerge onto the shore and look directly across to Mount Hope. This can become a reality, but we need everyone's support!

There are currently zero acres of conserved public green space in Tiverton north of Route 24. This is a historic, critical, and necessary opportunity for our town.

If you have any accessibility needs, please contact us (info@tivertonlandtrust.org) and we will do what we can to accommodate. There will be an accessible portable restroom on-site.

Please note that there are no refunds for ticket purchases, unless the event is cancelled.
