Established by private donation, Trustom Pond Refuge includes over 640 acres of various wildlife habitats including fields, shrublands, woodlands, fresh and saltwater ponds, and sandy beaches and dunes. Approximately 300 bird species, more than 40 mammal species, and 20 species of reptiles and amphibians call Trustom Pond Refuge home during the year. Trustom Pond is the only undeveloped coastal salt pond in Rhode island, making it even more valuable to wildlife. A barrier beach forms the refuge's southern boundary. This remains one of the few Rhode island nesting sites for two species of concern--Least Terns and Piping Plovers.
