Other Things to Note:
Paradise Farmhouse is a part of the Norman Bird Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization that maintains the largest contiguous open space in Newport County. Established in 1949 at the bequest of naturalist/artist Mabel Norman Cerio, the Norman Bird Sanctuary, under the charge of her will, was founded to maintain the land “for the propagation, preservation, and protection of birds, and where birds and bird life may be observed, studied, taught, and enjoyed by lovers of nature and by the public generally so interested in a spirit of humanity and mercy.”
The NBS mission is to spark people's curiosity to explore, steward, and find peace and joy in nature. With over 300 acres of diverse habitat, 7 miles of hiking trails and robust educational programming for adults and children, its mission remains true to Mabel Norman Cerio’s original vision.
