2 The Aquidneck Land Trust Our Mission: Preserving the Island s open spaces and natural character for the lasting benefit of our community. Our Values: Founded around 1990 by a dedicated group of Aquidneck Island residents, ALT focused its inaugural efforts on building community awareness of the imperative to conserve and protect open space on this island. Maintaining robust land acquisition activities is the most powerful, tangible and long-term way for ALT to fight environmental threats. Land conservation directly helps conserve water resources, island habitat and biodiversity, local agricultural resources, outdoor recreational and educational opportunities and scenic vistas while also helping mitigate global warming. The Aquidneck Land Trust is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization located on Aquidneck Island in the State of Rhode Island. A Letter from the Board Chair It has been another spectacular year for the Aquidneck Land Trust. I am happy to report that our organization is as healthy and vibrant as ever. It is ready to take advantage of the opportunities that are sure to present themselves during difficult economic times. Of course, when an opportunity presents itself to our organization, it is most often a one-time-only situation, as land, once developed, rarely returns to open space. There are so many highlights this year many of which you have read about in the local press. The biggest, of course, is the fact that with our recent acquisitions of open space and development rights, we have surpassed 2000-acres of conserved land. 1 I am told that when the organization was founded by a small group of visionaries, the dream was to save 1000 acres. When that seemed possible, the organization set it sights on 2000 acres, assuming that the task represented a long-term goal that probably could never be attained. We raised the bar for ourselves when the Land Trust required that these acres not simply be a collection of scattered parcels but rather the land that contributes most to the health, habitat and aesthetic quality of our island. Now that we have surpassed that goal, we are closely examining the undeveloped and unprotected acres that remain. Through an exhaustive process, we have determined those remaining parcels which are key to preserving the quality of our island. We have calculated likely costs associated with protecting them and directly pegged our fundraising goals to this number. We strive constantly to meet our fundraising goal so that if an opportunity to save one of these jewels arises, the Land Trust will be in a position to act. Of course, we will need our friends in the community, new and old, to accomplish this. I am sad to report that Kathy Damon, Stuart MacNaught (a former Chair), and John McColloch have served their full terms on the board and will be leaving us. They were an incredibly important part of our board and their contributions will be missed. If you have an opportunity, thank them. Without people like them, our island would not be, nor would it remain, what it is today. The Aquidneck Land Trust is an extraordinary organization. We have a truly dedicated, talented and hard-working staff, a well-functioning and vibrant board and an important and time-sensitive mission. Together with our friends, we can continue, and even exceed, the level of accomplishment that we have had the good fortune to experience thus far. Thank you for your support! Stephen J. MacGillivray Board Chair 1 To lend some perspective, 2000 acres represents roughly 8% of the total area of Aquidneck Island. It is 2.3 times the size of Central Park or 1,515 football fields (including end zones). 2 ALT 19th Annual Report

3 A Letter from the Executive Director Dear ALT Supporters: We are in the process of creating something historic together. The Aquidneck Land Trust ( ALT ) has consistently turned your support into what is becoming an immense, landscape level, lasting green legacy that will nourish and sustain our beloved Aquidneck Island for generations and generations to come. Our window of opportunity to conserve the Island s remaining special and threatened open spaces with perpetual Conservation Easements is closing fast, so we need your continued support now more than ever to perfect and finish this historic green gift to current and future generations. This past year, ALT supporters gathered to celebrate ALT reaching and surpassing the 2,000 conserved acre milestone. In 1999, ALT began announcing its dream of someday conserving 2,000 acres on the Island. Many felt this was a near impossible feat due to the cost of real estate on the Island, the fierce competition from developers and the limited opportunities available to an island community. When I began working for ALT in 2000, ALT s conserved acreage was about 500 acres after ten years of conservation work. That 2,000 conserved acre goal certainly seemed very far away. Thus, how special it was for all of us in October 2008 when together we conserved the Boulevard Nurseries property on East Main Road in Middletown and with that reached and surpassed the 2,000 conserved acre mark. However, we must recognize that we are only about half-way to completing this lasting green legacy that we have been working on together. In 2004, ALT completed a comprehensive mapping and prioritization project that identified all of the remaining and threatened open space parcels on Aquidneck Island. Only about 90 of those priority properties remain, representing a little over 2,000 acres left to conserve. These are the final forests, farms, parks, scenic vistas and water resource areas that we hope to save before time runs out. As we prepare for this final acquisition leg of our journey together, which reasonable estimates put at about ten years in length, we should look to the Block Island story for inspiration. Supporters of land conservation there have consistently stayed the course since the 1970s and as a result over forty percent of Block Island is conserved today. That will forever distinguish and sustain that remarkable place. While only a little over twenty percent of Aquidneck Island is conserved we know that with your continued support we can substantially increase that percentage and leave an historic and lasting green legacy that we can truly be proud of and that future generations will thank us for.

5 Land Preservation Partners Founded in 1990, the Land Trust s first conservation easement was placed on the historic Slocum estate on Bellevue Avenue. Since that time the Land Trust has conserved over 2,000 acres. We gratefully thank the very special individuals, families, businesses, neighborhood associations, municipalities, and government agencies who have partnered with us to preserve and steward their land in perpetuity.
