Protecting the Maidford River

Friday, July 19th, 2013

The Aquidneck Land Trust recently announced the conservation of another 10.65 acres in Middletown.  The Randall property was on the Trust’s top priority list for watershed protection.  Located on the banks of the Maidford River, conservation of this property will maintain a natural buffer; preserving the quality of the river.  The property is also contiguous with other conserved parcels within the Sakonnet Greenway, furthering it’s importance. In this press release, ALT Executive Director Chuck Allott refers to the property as “the poster child” for the Trust’s goal of protecting Aquidneck Island’s watersheds.  The Aquidneck Land Trust now claims 2,429 acres of preserved land on Aquidneck Island!

Congratulations and many thanks to the ALT for their continuous work preserving and protecting the natural beauty and water quality of Aquidneck Island.
