Little Compton Stone Wall Stewards

A group of residents (LC Stone Wall Stewards) formed to explore restoring many of Little Compton’s stone walls following a presentation by Robert Thorson opn July 2, 2025, on the history and importance of our area’s ubiquitous stone walls as well as threats to their existence.
Thorson is a professor of Earth Sciences at UConn, coordinator of the Stone Wall Initiative, and author of numerous publications where he describes his stepwise method of preserving walls.
If you missed Robert Thorson’s presentation or want to review the program, you can watch the recording at tinyurl.com/lcstonewalls. To view a video of the afternoon sessions with Robert Thorson, watch here.
