Land Conservation without Indigenous Sovereignty is Theft -
During this 2026 season we would like to challenge our Block Island Community, which we know to be large and abundant, to step up and support the Manissean Tribe and their Annual Pow Wow.
Our goal is to provide full funding for this Intertribal event where all are welcome to share in the rich cultural heritage of the Native Islanders.
As part of our ongoing stewardship of the land of Block Island we realize that Land Conservation without Indigenous Sovereignty is Theft and we are working to repair that large gap in the modern land Conservation movement at home on Block Island and beyond.
Please Join us.
Changing the way we think about conservation.
Beyond protecting land from development, we want to think about land conservation as a radial and dynamic act. Our goal is land stewardship that not only champions open space but rewilds, regenerates and restores these spaces to healthy, thriving ecosystems.
Beyond Conservation
To truly protect the earth we believe that we also must protect its most vulnerable people. At Re Block Island our work focuses not only conscientious land stewardship but centers ecological and economic justice, community care and uplifting the voices of Black and Indigenous communities.
Commitment to Sustainability
Our work is committed to sustainability and the long term health of the planet. We use only battery operated tools and mowers, which are fueled by solar power. Our planting and pest control methods center integrative soil care and abstain from the use of any chemical herbicides or pesticides. Our focus is restoring Native plant populations for a changing climate.
Join us as we work to promote radical land conservation in the Block Island community and beyond.
