“The mission of the South Kingstown Land Trust is to protect and steward natural resources, open spaces,
and cultural landscapes for the benefit of the community, now and forever.”
Vision
We envision a future for South Kingstown where farms, forests, streams, and wetlands are permanently protected—where open spaces provide clean water, clean air, thriving wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, and opportunities for recreation, reflection, and connection with nature.
These landscapes will continue to enrich the quality of life for all who live in and visit our community, now and for generations to come.
The South Kingstown Land Trust works hand-in-hand with public agencies, private organizations, and individuals to safeguard the natural resources that define the character and spirit of South Kingstown.
Guided by a commitment to the public good, SKLT provides enduring leadership in land conservation—sharing knowledge, supporting landowners, and inspiring stewardship across the community.
We strive to remain a strong, sustainable organization powered by an engaged board, dedicated volunteers, and passionate staff, united by the common goal of protecting the lands that make South Kingstown home.
