SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge Biodiversity Walk at Johannis Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the City Nature Challenge Biodiversity Walk on Sunday\, April 26\, at 11 am at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve in Barrington\, RI. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nThis 1-hour biodiversity walk is part of the annual City Nature Challenge\, a global community science event that invites people around the world to document local wildlife to help support global scientific efforts. This year marks RI’s 5th year participating in the Challenge!\n \nParticipants will take part in a community bioblitz: a focused effort to find and document as many species as possible within a set area over a short period of time. \n \n\n \nUsing the iNaturalist app\, you’ll photograph and upload observations to record plants\, animals\, fungi\, and other living organisms right here in our community. This will become real data that scientists can use to track where species are found\, monitor changes over time\, and inform local conservation decisions. Your contributions help build a clearer picture of biodiversity in our region while boosting our city’s totals in the Challenge. \n\n \nNo previous experience or species knowledge is necessary. We’ll begin with a brief introduction to iNaturalist and simple tips for making good observations before the walk begins. \n \nPlease bring:\n\nComfortable walking shoes / boots. \nA charged smartphone with the iNaturalist app downloaded (Available for Android and iPhone)\nCuriosity about nature!\n\nPlease note: There are no bathroom facilities at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve. \nWalk away with new observation skills\, a deeper understanding of local biodiversity\, and the tools to keep exploring nature after the Challenge ends!\n \nOptional iNaturalist Training with Audubon\n\nIf you’d like to get advance training for the bioblitz activity\, Audubon is offering a free iNaturalist Field Training on Tuesday\, April 7\, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium\, 1401 Hope Street\, Bristol\, RI. The training is not required to participate in the walk\, but it will help you record as many species as possible. \nREGISTER FOR THE iNATURALIST TRAINING \n\nJohannis Farm Wildlife Preserve is a 32-acre expanse of field\, forest\, and salt marshes on the border of the Palmer River\, off Sowams Road in Barrington\, RI. Dogs are not allowed on this property. The terrain is gentle but may be wet in places. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. You may wish to bring a walking stick or poles to assist you when crossing wet areas. \nYou may park in the grassy lot just beyond the entrance to Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve\, which is located between 461 and 475 Sowams Road (see below). We will meet in the parking area and walk together to the trailhead.
