Rhode Island loses farmland, forests, and open space every single year, and it doesn’t come back. But those who own land in Bristol or Newport County have the power to change that. R.I.’s Farm, Forest & Open Space Program could significantly reduce property taxes and protect land for future generations. Many landowners qualify and don’t even know it. Join the Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District for a free informational session to learn about this program. Spots are limited, and RSVPs suggested.
