The Aquidneck Land Trust is pleased to announce its 2012 Conservation Speaker Series. The purpose of this program is to bring important conservation speakers to each of Aquidneck Island's three communities over the course of a year so as to deepen the dialogue on our Island about conservation.
On October 18, Casey Riley and Chef Jonathan Cambra, from Newport Harbor Corporation/Newport Restaurant Group present "Green Eating."
Back by popular demand, Casey Riley, Chief Operating Officer of the Newport Harbor Corporation/Newport Restaurant Group, and Chef Jonathan Cambra from Castle Hill will help participants understand the "hows" and "whys" of eating in an environmentally friendly way. Topics and activities covered will include sourcing local foods, the state of foodservice in our public school systems, the benefits of community supported agriculture, connections between farmers and chefs, the culinary benefits of local foods and of course recipes and delicious tastings. This free presentation is made possible through a collaboration between the Aquidneck Land Trust, the Newport Harbor Corporation/Newport Restaurant Group and Green Valley Country Club.
