Hodge Family Wildlife Preserve

The Nature Conservancy is a renowned organization that works in collaboration with partners and local communities to protect and preserve natural areas around the world. With a long-term commitment to conservation, they have established a permanent field office on Block Island, Rhode Island, where they manage over 2,000 acres of wildlife habitat, offer hands-on discovery programs, and support scientific research in the Great Salt Pond.

Block Island, located just twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island, is a wildlife hotspot and has been recognized as one of the 12 Last Great Places in the western hemisphere. Nearly half of the island is permanently protected, providing a sanctuary for rare plants and animals that have disappeared from other parts of southern New England. The Nature Conservancy and the Block Island Conservancy co-sponsor free, guided nature programs on the island, offering visitors various opportunities to connect with the island's exceptional fields, marshes, and beaches.
