South Kingstown Land Trust

In conjunction with the national focus on eliminating systemic racism, SKLT resolves to re-examine our strategic plan and going forward implement ways to enable our organization to better serve minority populations of our community. The South Kingstown Land Trust, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded as a private trust in 1983, and later incorporated as a private nonprofit corporation in 1999, with the mission of conserving the natural resources of the Town of South Kingstown through preservation and stewardship of open space. It was created by a small group of local residents and landowners, acting in response to a growing awareness that land use regulations at town, state, and federal levels alone were insufficient to provide lasting protection of the town’s open spaces, wildlife habitats, farm and forest lands, aquifers and recharge areas, and coastal ecosystems. Since its inception, SKLT has grown into one of the leaders in its field in Rhode Island, protecting more than 2,900 acres of open space in over 170 properties containing farms, forest land, ponds, rivers and streams, ground water aquifers and recharge areas, scenic view sheds, and historic resources.
