2025 Fall Newsletter is Here!
Check out our fall newsletter celebrating the strides we’ve made toward a sustainable future for Block Island. Our innovative compost pilot program has taken off, championing environmental responsibility by turning food waste into nutrient-rich compost while fostering a healthier ecosystem for everyone. With the recent acquisition of picturesque land along Corn Neck Road, we are dedicated to preserving the island’s stunning beauty and ensuring it remains accessible for future generations. Together, we are tackling the challenge of single-use plastics through education and proactive initiatives, creating a cleaner and more vibrant paradise for all.
Accreditation Renewal
One thing that unites us as a nation is land: Americans strongly support saving the natural spaces they love. Since 1972, the Block Island Conservancy has been doing just that for Block Island. We are excited to announce that we have successfully renewed our land trust accreditation – proving once again that, as part of a network of over 450 accredited land trusts across the nation, it is committed to conservation excellence.
BIC provided extensive documentation and was subject to a comprehensive third-party evaluation prior to achieving this distinction. The Land Trust Accreditation Commission awarded renewed accreditation, signifying its confidence that Block Island will be protected and steareed for generations to come. Thank you to all of our members and donors who have helped make this possible.
