Dundery Brook Greenway Trail

The LCEF supports the mission of The Nature Conservancy and the Sakonnet Preservation Association to promote and provide educational programs for WMS students at Dundery Brook Greenway Trail.
WMS teachers and students will soon have access to an outdoor classroom setting, nature trails and hands-on environmental/science programs West of the school grounds. This environmental programming will not only bring science to life for Little Compton children, but will also complement Rhode Island’s new Environmental Literacy Plan that integrates critical environmental and science learning into the school curriculum.
