Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge

Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is located on the south coast of Rhode Island, in South Kingstown, Washington County. The main body of the refuge is bordered by private land and the community of Green Hill to the west, by Matunuck Schoolhouse Road to the north, and by private land to the northeast and east. East of its main body, the refuge also owns a separate 52-acre parcel, bordered by private farmland to the west and east, Matunuck Schoolhouse Road on the north, and Card Ponds Road on the south. In 1974, Mrs. Ann Kenyon Morse donated the first 365 acres to the refuge, and in 1982 the Audubon Society of Rhode Island donated 151 acres. The refuge now includes 787 acres in either fee title or conservation easement. Its acquisition boundary has since been expanded by 1,283 acres, so that up to 1,536 acres may be acquired from willing sellers within the newly expanded boundary.
