Summary of Projects

The Rhode Island Land Trust Council received a grant in 2009 to establish a database that will support RI Land Trust Council's grassroots advocacy initiatives and fundraising efforts and empower land trusts throughout the state to reduce trespassing by ATVs on protected properties and the damage that these vehicles are doing to natural communities and walking trails.
