ASLA Climate Action Plan
ASLA has developed a Climate Action Plan that is really worth a read and implementation. Let us know how you plan to incorporate these new guidelines in your projects.
​
Historic Marble from the
RI State House Available
​
Farm Fresh RI discovered a tremendous amount of marble that was destined for the RI State House when it arrived from Georgia in the 1890’s and landed at an enormous cutting facility (built just to cut the State House Marble) in the Valley neighborhood of Providence. Several years ago Farm Fresh bought the exact 3.2 acre cutting facility site and built our new headquarters. See this link for the full story and details on how to try to get some fantastic historic materials for your next project.
Join us for a Guided Walk Through Beaver River Preserve!
​
Join The Nature Conservancy and the Rhode Island Chapter of ASLA for a guided walk through Beaver River Preserve in Richmond, RI! Open to all landscape architecture practitioners, this walk offers a unique opportunity to explore how the landscape responds after an old dam failure and the exciting resurgence of native flora and fauna that follows.
​
Participants will meet at the Hillsdale trailhead and follow a gentle 1.5–2.0 mile loop through old pastures, oak woods, and a pine grove. Along the way, we’ll explore the Beaver River, a small beaver pond, and a newly emerging wet meadow formed after the unexpected breaching of an old dam in late 2023. This walk provides a living case study in dam removal transformations, and is ideal for professionals interested in restoration, resilience, and natural systems in action.
​
This event is free but limited to 20 participants, so registration is required. Participants are invited to support ongoing conservation efforts with an optional donation to The Nature Conservancy upon registration.
​
Date: Saturday, June 21st
Time: 9am-11am
Location: Beaver River Preserve, 350 Hillsdale Road, Richmond RI
