Informational Meeting on East Beach Project

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM), in partnership with Save The Bay, is conducting a coastal habitat restoration project at the Ninigret Barrier Beach located at East Beach in Charlestown. Invasive plants such as Japanese black pine, Asiatic sand sedge, and knotweed have changed natural sand movement during storms, reducing open sand areas that birds need for nesting and beach space for the public.

DEM and Save the Bay are hosting a public informational program at Kettle Pond Visitor Center in Charlestown on Thursday, December 11, from 6 to 7 PM. Registration is encouraged, as space is limited.
