The Weekapaug Foundation for Conservation is a non-profit land trust in Westerly and Charlestown, Rhode Island dedicated to preserving and protecting the open land and clean water of the Winnapaug and Quonochontaug salt pond watersheds. Our work includes:
We protect over a thousand acres of green space, marshes, fields and woodlands, which are habitats for migratory and endangered birds, small mammals and dozens of different plant species. Come explore.
From planting native species, clearing trails, and maintaining Weekapaug landmarks like the Weekapaug Inlet to providing guided nature walks, farm dinners, and get-togethers hosted with our partners, the Foundation is dedicated to preserving and restoring our community.
In honor of our beloved trustee, Richard Dumouchel, the Foundation awards one URI student with a scholarship to pursue an education in environmental studies or conservation.
Since 1989, the Foundation’s success has depended on the extraordinary level of volunteerism and generosity of its members. There are so many ways to get involved.
