The Land Trust recently protected 52 Acres off of Hillsdale Rd by partnering with The Nature Conservancy in Rhode Island. This will add on to the existing Beaver River Preserve for more hiking trails and nature experiences! We're happy that we'll be able to share this one with generations to come. :-)

Hi Richmond Residents: Earth Day, which began in 1970, occurs every April 22 and is a great day
to celebrate our environment, for all. Richmond celebrates by holding an annual Earth Day
cleanup in our town, and this year, the Richmond Conservation Commission has scheduled the
event for Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24, seeking you, and your family and friends to
help cleanup along town roads and town properties. The Commission will have cleanup kits
ready to go each day for teams to pick up at Town Hall, plus sign up for your cleanup locations.
Thanks to Richmond’s Department of Public Works, they will then collect the color-coded
bagged recyclables and trash for relay to the transfer station. And another cleanup option for
you will be to help the Richmond Rural Land Preservation Trust with trail work on one of its
Richmond preserves. A great team effort by the town helps to keep Richmond green and a
beautiful place to live. We appreciate your help!

Just received some cool photos from the Bradner Preserve trail cameras; fisher, red fox, and some obligatory deer shots.

These photos were gathered as part of a year-long study with URI looking for signs of bobcat. No pics of bobcat (yet), but plenty cool wildlife!

Has anyone seen bobcat/ signs of bobcat out there??
