The Nature Conservancy on Block Island
Address: 352 High Street, Block Island, RI
In 1991, The Nature Conservancy named Block Island one of 12 “Last Great Places” in the western hemisphere. This special designation highlights the island’s abundance of rare plants and animals and the community’s unique support for conservation. The Nature Conservancy set up a permanent field office on the island soon after, affirming our long-term commitment to protecting the nature of Block Island. The Block Island Program maintains over 2,000 acres of habitat, offers hands-on discovery programs, and supports groundbreaking scientific research in the Great Salt Pond. For all of this, we thank our supporters and partners -- many of whom have been with us since the very beginning -- for their generosity, trust, and vision for Block Island.
