About

A not-for-profit land trust protecting open space and enhancing our natural environment

Founded in 1989, the Weekapaug Foundation for Conservation is dedicated to preserving the land, protecting barrier beaches, and ensuring the integrity and water quality of the Winnapaug and Quonochontaug salt ponds. With the support of WFC members, the Foundation has purchased or negotiated development easements on over 1,000 acres.
