According to the Aquidneck Land Trust’s (ALT) website, it is a non-profit organization that aims to preserve Aquidneck Island’s open spaces and natural character for the lasting benefit of the community. The non-profit was founded in the 1990’s by a local group of residents to save many things on Aquidneck Island. Three things that these residents decided to focus on were saving the natural character, environmental health and the economic value of Aquidneck’s Island. In the early years of starting this organization, they made a goal to conserve 2,000 acres of land. This goal seemed impossible to accomplish but almost two decades after the non-profit was established, they surpassed the goal of conserving 2,000 acres of land. As John Fornoff …show more content…
It informs the audience on what the organization is about and the photos highlight the 25-year anniversary. Though, the cover photo should show more of what the organization does. For example, the cover photo with the tent that says, “ Celebrating 25 years of Aquidneck Land Trust”, which was an image from someone who attended the event. The audience likes to see content because it is more scenic and natural. Another thing that the ALT’s Facebook page does well is posting content often, which keeps the audience engaged. Many people on Facebook will not keep up with the content that is being posted unless it is consistent and interesting. Although content is posted often, there are many things that the ALT needs to work on. One of the most important parts of the Facebook page for any organization is the about page. This page explains to the audience what the organization is about and why they should be interested to know more about the organization. Important information is missing in this section like the overview of ALT, the long description, the goals and objectives that they have accomplished over the past years, and the the founding of the ALT (1990). This information is vital for the organization and it will help the audience become more interested. There is a post on Facebook that the Providence Business News wrote on in an interview with the executive director that should be included in the about page as well. Also, many of the pictures that are on Facebook were posted on Instagram and the audience wants to see a variety, not the same photos. Some of the posts on Facebook are instructions on where to go to their website to vote for a kids art contest. Majority of the time, people are lazy and they won’t go to the website to vote, it would be easier if people just had to like the photos or share them on Facebook in order to vote. Many
The question that needs to be asked is, should local councils protect the coast, or leave it to nature? And how does protection affect the people the environment and the future of Dawlish Warren? I will observe the laws, which have been enforced to ensure the nature of the reserve is protected and the ecological and economical value of Dawlish Warren is looked after. Fig A shows where my investigation is based Dawlish warren incorporates a fantastic amenity- a nature reserve that covers 204 hectares or 505 acres. It is essentially a mile-and a half length of sand spit, extending around the mouth of the River Exe and positively teeming with flora and fauna, so much that not only has it been designated local nature reserve since 1978 but it is also an international one as well.
The whole island is in the shape of a giant square with white sandy beaches full of people sunbathing, swimming and fishing right on the shoreline. From the end of the hot pavement parking lot to shore of the beach is an ocean of soft white sand. The pearlescent white sand seems to know how to invade every nook and cranny almost as if it enjoys it. Walking around the beach on the fluffy whiteness surrounding the parking lot, the seagulls are fighting over scraps of food on the ground. “Sandy beach ecosystems provide invaluable services to humankind. Their functions have been exploited through history, with significant anthropogenic effects (Lucrezi, 2015)”. This white sandy beach is a beautiful refuge from the mundane grind of everyday life. The smell of the misty ocean air mixed with the sound of seagulls hovering above and kids playing is a tonic for the mind. The feel of the sand between their toes and the waves crashing over them as people swim in the water, or the jerk of a fishing pole when someone is catching a fish makes Fred Howard Park one of the best places to relax. Standing on the beach looking out on the water, people are kayaking and windsurfing. The lifeguards watching vigilantly in their bright red shirt and shorts, blowing their whistles when they see someone being unsafe. After a long day of swimming and laying around visitors head back over the soft white sand to the showers, in order to rinse off the menacing sand that clings to everything like a bad habit. Everyone rushes over the hot pavement burning their feet to reach their cars so they can put away their beach paraphernalia which is still covered in the white sand, nearly impossible to completely leave behind, so when they get home it serves as a reminder of where they were that

Conservation banking was modeled after the U.S. wetland mitigation banking system and the two programs share many similarities. However, unlike the wetland mitigation system, conservation offsets do not have a stated ‘no net loss’ goal, but instead have a species recovery goal. Both conservation and wetlands mitigation banks are privately or publicly owned lands which are protected and managed for its ecological value. By doing this, the bank sponsor generates habitat or wetland or stream credits to sell to developers or transportation departments who need to offset their impacts and comply with the legal requirements for the permitting of development or roadway projects. Both types of banks offer benefits to both the landowner that owns the natural resource and the developer that needs to purchase the credits. The landowner can take portions of their property that may have been considered unusable and turn it into an asset. The developer can streamline their permitting process by purchasing credits instead of implementing a mitigation plan themselves.
This essay is about the land rights of of Australia and how Eddie Marbo was not happy about his land been taken away from him. In May 1982 Eddie Marbo and four other people of the Murray Islands began to take action in the high court of Australia and confirming their land rights. Eddie Marbo was a torres islander who thought that the Australian laws were wrong and who went to fight and try and change them. He was born in 1936 on Mer which is known as Murray Island. The British Crown in the form of the colony of Queensland became of the sovereign of the islands when they were annexed in1978. They claimed continued enjoyment of there land rights and that had not been validly extinguished by the sovereign. (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2012)
In the year of 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Land Grant Act providing funds for the creation of land-grant schools in each state in the United States of America. Specifically, this act gave each state “30,000 acres…to establish a college that would promote education in agriculture, mechanics, classical studies and military tactics” (Morrill Act). The act provided each state with government funds to purchase the land, but the state itself was required to find the capital to erect the buildings. The Morrill Act was initially introduced to President Buchanan, but he vetoed it based on his belief that it was “financially draining for the Treasury, a threat to existing colleges, and unconstitutional” (Morrill, J.). On the second occasion
Perhaps the most devastating disregard of the Fraser Valley’s biodiversity was the draining of Sumas Lake to create farmland, resulting in the loss of habitat and the extirpation of endemic species. As it was originally intended to be, the Fraser Valley was a “perhaps unparalleled ecosystem” (Rosenau, p. 55), with bountiful wetlands and remarkable biodiversity. The European settlers 150 years ago considered it to be “wasteland” (Thom, p. 172), certainly uninhabitable and a breeding ground for mosquitoes, so the most logical thing to do would be to drain the body of water once known as Sumas Lake...
I think that he is trying to say that wilderness is something to be cherished and loved, because it gives definition and meaning to his life. His whole life was spent looking after and trying to preserve the wilderness. This is a plea for the preservation. I think that Leopold believes one day a lot of what we have today and he want it to be preserved so that in the future people have the chance to see there cultural inheritance like our ancestors let us see by preserving things.

A freehold covenant is a promise or an obligation made by a land owner to another regarding the use of the land. It is a type of contract within the doctrine of privity and usually the rights and obligations it creates normally binds those that are contracted to it and no one else. A covenant is usually made by deed. A “restrictive covenant” to which the doctrine of (Tulk v Moxhay)1 applies it does not need to be created by a deed It can include “a mere agreement and no covenant”.
letter to William Swift in Chicago in regards to John Stewart’s ranch 71, just a few short months later his firm would sue Stewart. It is very likely that John Clay, made indication to Swift that A. H. Swan was not accurately counting his cattle as well and that another law suit was in the future for their company again.
The expansion of the United States is such a vital part of American history, yet some often forget how it all happened. Many thriving settlers were given an extraordinary opportunity starting on January 1, 1863 that would end up laying the floor work for many Midwestern and Western citizens today. The rights and responsibilities to live on and maintain 160 acres of land may seem like a lot to take in for a student learning about an Act about land from the 1860s. However, think about all the people the Homestead Act of 1862 affected. There was a lot of pressure on the original homesteaders to make good use of their newfound land, the government was giving out land that wasn’t exactly theirs, and the Native American would have some their rights stolen.

Their Facebook page was a relic that only seemed to be dusted off for the occasional announcement. I created dynamic content catering to our target market, utilizing Facebook’s ability to set ad campaigns by certain parameters such as location, age, and gender. For our purposes, it helped that you could also specify if you wanted to target people that like your page, their friends, or the general public. As we wanted to just target families in our school, we chose people that like our page and their friends, as we felt that many families might not know that the PTO had a social media
