With the arrival of spring, The Preservation Socie

With the arrival of spring, The Preservation Society of Newport County @newport_mansions is set to open two more of its best-loved properties.

Beginning Saturday, April 1, The Elms will open daily for self-guided audio tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Built between 1899 and 1901 by architect Horace Trumbauer for coal magnate Edward Berwind, this National Historic Landmark was modeled after the 18th-century French Château d’Asnières outside of Paris.

Tickets are already on sale for The Elms Servant Life Tour, a separate guide-led experience that tells the true stories of butlers, cooks, maids and others who labored behind the scenes during Newport’s Gilded Age. The tour is offered twice daily, at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Space is limited and advance ticket purchase is recommended.

Two of the Preservation Society’s other iconic Gilded Age mansions, The Breakers and Marble House, are already open daily for self-guided audio tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On Saturday, April 15, Green Animals Topiary Garden will open for the season. Visitors will wander through a magical landscape decorated with topiary giraffes, elephants, ostriches, bears and others. More than 80 boxwood, privet and yew topiaries in the shape of geometric designs and animals populate this historic 7-acre property overlooking Narragansett Bay in Portsmouth, R.I.

Green Animals is also planted with 22,000 daffodils in 70 varieties. In 2019, the property was recognized by the American Daffodil Society as one of 28 official Daffodil Display Gardens in the United States, and one of only three in New England. There is also an array of flowering bulbs, perennials, annuals and shrubs that bloom colorfully throughout the spring, summer and fall.

For the full Newport Mansions operating schedule, go to www.NewportMansions.org and look under “Plan A Visit.” The operating schedule is subject to change. (link in bio)

@liladelmancompass announced the sale of 93 Watch

@liladelmancompass announced the sale of 93 Watch Hill Road in Westerly, a 50-slip marina including two free-standing retail buildings with idyllic views of the cove. Commercial Director Gregory Arakelian brokered the deal, representing the seller and facilitating for the buyer. The property traded for $2,700,000, the highest commercial transaction in Washington County since January of last year, according to data maintained by the Rhode Island Statewide MLS.

“This property is located in a key passageway to Watch Hill and offers abundant retail and blue water travel opportunities,” said Gregory. “I am happy to see the seller receive a strong return on investment and the buyer secure an appreciating asset.”

Arakelian is a highly regarded marina and hospitality specialist and a multi-faced broker known for his negotiation skills, design insight, and expertise in the commercial and residential real estate markets. He is also no stranger to notable deals, having facilitated the sale of Wayfinder Newport Hotel for $14.34 million, the highest commercial sale ever in the state per the Rhode Island Statewide MLS.

Last year, Lila Delman Compass continued its legacy of leading Rhode Island’s luxury real estate market for the 14th consecutive year, having closed more sales volume of $1,000,000+ properties than any other firm in the state. While Compass overall was named the top brokerage in the country by sales volume in Real Trends earlier this month. (Link in bio)

Local nonprofit @westplaceanimalsanctuary invites

Local nonprofit @westplaceanimalsanctuary invites adults and students in high school or college to attend a Volunteer Open House on Sunday, April 2 from 12p.m. to 3 p.m. Guests will have opportunities to learn more about a variety of volunteer openings that support more than 70 farm animals rescued from cruelty, abuse, and neglect.

Students seeking hands-on farm experience will learn more about West Place’s popular Educational Internship Programs, which run throughout the school-year and during the summer months. No registration is required and more information can be found at www.westplace.org/volunteer-open-house.

West Place operates seven days per week, 365 days per year, and has a variety of roles available. Potential volunteers will learn about duties and responsibilities for positions in direct animal care, gardening, food cultivation, landscaping, handy work, IT support, marketing, fundraising, videography, grant writing, content creation, social media, blog writing, podcasting, audio engineering, musicianship, and more.

West Place asks adult volunteer to commit to one four-hour shift per week for a minimum of one year. Training is provided and prior farm animal experience is a bonus, but not required. Student applications for the summer internship program are currently being accepted and spots are being filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Student interns are asked to commit to at least one four-hour shift per week, but can pick up additional shifts to accelerate their learning. Volunteers and student interns will receive access to an internal app for communication, training, scheduling, and more. (link in bio)

A recent study just named the 30 most beautiful coastal college campuses in the United States and Salve Regina University in Newport came in 7th.

Founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mercy, Salve Regina University is a beautiful 80-acre waterfront campus located in Newport, Rhode Island’s Ochre Point-Cliffs National Historic District. As if “waterfront” and “National Historic District” weren’t charmingly cool enough, the university also boasts a surprisingly large (if not chilly) surf scene. But the true gems of Salve Regina are certainly on its 80-acre campus, and include the impressive chateau that is Ochre Court, the Romanesque Revival McAuley Hall, and the mock-Elizabethan Wakehurst manor house.

Wait, what? For real? Yup, for real! Newport’s

Wait, what? For real? Yup, for real!

Newport’s Transportation Master Plan was unveiled Wednesday evening and one major change to our city’s streets immediately jumps out. The advisory committee, which was led by the State of Rhode Island’s Division of Statewide Planning, recommends that the travel lanes on America’s Cup Avenue and Memorial Boulevard are both cut in half to one lane in each direction to make way for a bike lane that will span from Downtown Newport to Easton’s Beach.

Wait, what?

And you thought traffic was bad now!?!?!? (link in bio)

As Mālama was passing through one of the most rem

As Mālama was passing through one of the most remote parts of the most remote ocean in the world, the team deployed a surface drifter buoy off the back of the boat. It’s another milestone passed in the other race that 11th Hour Racing Team is participating in, the race to protect the world’s ocean.

With The Ocean Race fleet passing some of the most remote locations on earth – places seldom reached by scientific vessels – deploying these surface drifter buoys makes it possible to collect vital data where none has previously been directly measured. The data from these remote buoys is providing valuable insights for the scientific community.

Skipper Charlie Enright is proud to be able to contribute to a mission that aligns so closely with those of the team. “This is the second drifter buoy that we have deployed on Leg 3 of The Ocean Race. We’re down here at 55 degrees south, a very remote location. Not a lot of people come down here. So as athletes, as sailors, we feel it’s our responsibility to contribute back to the scientific community because we gain so much from them. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to do so.
