	Good Dirt from the Aquidneck Land Trust
		In 1929, the Miantonomi Memorial Park Commission erected the stone tower on top of Miantonomi Hill to memorialize veterans of World War I. This urban gem has now been secured by an Aquidneck Land Trust Conservation Easement so that it may be enjoyed for generations to come.
		The landowner remains the landowner and the conservation organization and/or government agency permanently oversees the restrictions in the Conservation Easement to ensure the property,s conservation values remain protected.
		As a result of this conservation transaction, Miantonomi Park has moved up from the Land Conserved with a Deed Restriction level (the park was subject to some general and somewhat vague deed restrictions during the 1921 conveyance from Helen Stokes to the City of Newport) to the Land Conserved with a Perpetual Conservation Restriction level.
