About
Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is located on the south coast of Rhode Island in South Kingstown. Established in 1974 through a donation, it now encompasses 787 acres of diverse habitats managed as a sanctuary for migratory birds. The landscape features coastal salt ponds and barrier spits formed by the retreat of the Wisconsin glacier approximately 15,000 years ago.
