Spears Family Salt Pond Memories

When: Tuesday, August 12 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Where: Kettle Pond Visitor Center, 50 Bend Rd., Charlestown

Join an evening of conversation with members of the Spears family, an inter-generational panel of Narragansett Tribal citizens, as they share stories, memories, and traditional ecological knowledge of Charlestown’s Coastal Salt Ponds. This will be a unique experience to hear Indigenous perspectives and deepen your own understanding of environmental stewardship in a relaxed, family-centered gathering.

This program supports efforts to protect water quality in and around Greater Allen’s Cove and Eastern Ninigret Pond through grant funded septic system replacements, stormwater management improvements, water quality monitoring, and community engagement.
