Conservation

This is connected with the Newport Tree Conservancy (formerly known as Newport Tree Society).

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a federal agency that works hand-in-hand with the people of Rhode Island to improve and protect their soil, water and other natural resources. For decades, private landowners have voluntarily worked with NRCS specialists to prevent erosion, improve water quality and promote sustainable agriculture.

Our Mission: Action today so future generations can enjoy ocean activities

Our Goals:

• CLEAN: Eliminate Marine Debris
• OCEAN: Improve Coastal Water Quality

"Blithewold is a 33-acre summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay and is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully developed and authentic examples of the Country Place Era. The property features a 45-room mansion filled with family heirlooms, and is framed by a series of lovely gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic and from poetic to practical.
