A Vision for Taylor Point
Imagine a local nature preserve where the native habitat is protected and improved . . .
A town-designated right-of-way that accommodates public access . . .
A home for native and migrating species at the border of land and sea.

The Taylor Point Restoration Association (TPRA) is Restoring Natural Habitat in Jamestown, Rhode Island.
Reestablishing native species will enhance the ecological value of Taylor Point.
TPRA’s plan is to:
• Remove invasive, non-native plant species;
• Nurture existing native species; and
• Plant new native species where needed.
TPRA is also improving the existing footpaths to provide:
• Safe, convenient, and erosion-resistant access to the shoreline;
• A network of footpaths within the Taylor Point Natural Area;
• A connecting pedestrian route to the nearby Conanicut Island Sanctuary;
• Handicap access where feasible; and
• Well maintained and improved views of the Bay.
TPRA is a Rhode Island-registered non-profit, and a US 501(c)3 charitable organization. We are committed to the long-term success of the Taylor Point Natural Area, are planning for reliable long-term management and maintenance, and are working enthusiastically to encourage our community to join us in our restoration efforts.
Visit Taylor Point.
Take in the beauty of this local treasure and
join us in making it a destination for generations.
