The Nature Conservancy, Audubon Society and the West Greenwich Land Trust also have protected several large parcels, the latest being the 1600 acre Tillinghast Preserve.

West Greenwich continues to maintain the rural character and independent spirit that has made the town a great place to live for over 260 years.
