Conserving the land and natural resources of Rhode Island for the benefit of its people.

Your expert for conservation resources in Rhode Island

The conservation landscape in Rhode Island is complex, with many groups working independently to improve our environment. As the state’s trusted authority on conservation, the Rhode Island State Conservation Committee serves as a central resource for all things conservation-related.

We work with landowners, farmers, municipalities, non-profit organizations, and other groups in identifying funding opportunities and connecting with experts to bring projects to life. We also support legislators and policymakers by providing insight into the current environmental landscape. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, we help shape a more unified, effective approach to preserving Rhode Island’s natural resources.
