Over the last several weeks, students at Rogers High School and Portsmouth High School have researched and created projects on a specific issue regarding the changing climate. Topics range from green infrastructure solutions to effects on coral reefs to coastal erosion right here on Aquidneck Island. Winners are selected from each school and given a cash prize as well as a book focused on climate resiliency. This annual fair is made possible by the William H. Donner Foundation. (fb)

Thanks to our stewardship staff and Land Trust volunteers, we now have a rain garden at Spruce Acres Farm! Rain gardens are a great way to reduce stormwater runoff pollution with water retaining plants. Of course, #NativePlants are best! #LandTrust #PortsmouthRI #RainGarden #MiddletownRI #StormwaterManagement #RhodeIsland #AquidneckIsland #AquidneckIslandLandTrust #altweb #altwebsite (fb)
