SUMMARY:Guided Walk ~ PIC-WIL Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free guided walk to PIC-WIL Nature Preserve\, a 24-acre preserve of forest\, field\, salt marsh and coastal dunes on the east shore of the Providence River in Barrington. For this summer walk\, a path has been mowed through the high grasses to reduce the risk of exposure to ticks and poison ivy. \nThe terrain is gentle but may be wet in places. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear.  \nThe walk will last about an hour. All ages are welcome. Advance registration is required. Parking is available on Tallwood Drive\, off Washington Road in Barrington. The trailhead is directly across from the intersection of Tallwood Drive and Washington Road. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK \n \nOnce home to a bottling facility owned by Deep Rock Bottling Company\, the property was donated to the Nature Conservancy by Catherine Picerelli in December of 1986 and deeded to the Barrington Land Conservation Trust in 1987\, to be preserved in perpetuity as a nature preserve. \nThe donation was made in memory of the families of Peter J. Picerelli and Clifford M. Wilson: thus the name “PIC-WIL.”  \nThe forest includes a wide variety of deciduous trees. The property is home to deer\, coyote\, fox\, weasels\, squirrels\, chipmunks and rabbits. \nPurple Martins nest here in late spring and summer. Common birds of the marsh and tidal creeks include Mallards\, American Black Ducks\, Snowy and Great Egrets\, Green-backed Herons\, Great Blue Herons\, and Osprey. Sharp-tailed Sparrows\, Belted Kingfishers and various shorebirds are other likely visitors of the wetland. \nNesting birds of the forest and its shrub border include Song Sparrow\, Carolina Wren\, Blue Jay\, Flicker\, Cardinal\, Goldfinch\, Robin\, Red-eyed Vireo\, Mockingbird\, Catbird\, Brown Thrasher and others. \nThree plants at PIC-WIL have “special interest” status in the state of Rhode Island: Creeping Spikerush (Eleocharis rostellata)\, Maritime Seablite (Suaeda maritima) and Robust Bulrush (Scirpus robustus).
