SUMMARY:2026 Pollinator Pathway Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Barrington Pollinator Pathway\, an initiative of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, is hosting its second Pollinator Pathway Tour on Sunday\, September 20 from noon to 5:30 pm. Learn how to welcome and support pollinators in your yard with native plants and pesticide free zones. Visit gardens to get inspiration and share ideas with fellow gardeners during this free event.\n \nYou’ll discover public and private gardens on the tour\, all spaces created with nature in mind. Building wildlife habitat is a journey\, and every garden on the tour represents something a little different. The event is free\, but registration is required.\n \nREGISTER FOR THE TOUR\n \n\nA map of the properties will be available on the day of the event\, September 20\, when you check in.  Pollinator Pathway signs will be available to buy for those who wish to place one in their garden. The cost is $20 per sign. You may purchase one at the event\, while supplies last.  Cash or check only\, please. \n\nSchedule\nNoon to 1 pm – Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve: Check in and pick up a map of tour locations. Purchase a Pollinator Pathway sign for your garden (while supplies last; cash or check only). Johannis Farm is located on Sowams Road in Barrington\, RI\, between #461 and #475 Sowams Rd. The entrance will be marked with a Land Trust sign. \nNoon to 4:30 pm – Visit sites on the tour. \n4 pm to 5:30 pm –  Tour Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve and its wildflower meadow. Enjoy refreshments and share information and stories gathered on the tour.   \n\n\n\nFor more information\, reach out at pollinatorpathways@blct.org. \nPollinator Garden at Barrington Town Center \nFAQs\n1. What is a pollinator pathway?  \nPollinator pathways are public and private pesticide-free corridors of native plants that provide nutrition and habitat for pollinating insects and birds. Some pollinators travel several miles to find nutrition\, but many travel only a few hundred feet in their lifetime. By connecting our landscapes with habitat that feeds and shelters them\, creating a pollinator pathway\, we allow for the movement of species across a healthy\, native landscape. Even a small garden can be an oasis for pollinators. \nThese native plant landscapes also promote climate resilience and fight biodiversity loss. Climate-resilient yards not only protect wildlife but also provide natural defenses against heavier rainfalls and extended periods of drought. These landscapes are better equipped to withstand a changing climate. Plants\, especially natives\, also sequester carbon\, filter pollutants from our water\, help improve soil health\, and provide the oxygen we breathe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Why are pollinators important?  \nWithout pollinators\, 85% of the plants on the earth wouldn’t exist. Almost 80% of the crop plants grown around the world that produce our food and plant-based products require pollination by animals. 40% of all insect species are declining globally and a third of them are endangered. Insects play critical roles in pollinating the plants we eat\, but they also break down waste in our environments and form the base of the food chain. \nPollinator Garden at Barrington Middle School \n3. How does the tour work? \nCheck in and map pickup will start at the Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve at 12:00pm on the day of the tour. Tour site addresses will not be available until September 20. The gardens are mostly in neighborhoods\, so please be respectful of neighbors when parking and walking to the sites. \nAll of the gardens will be open to the public from noon to 4:30 pm. You don’t have to visit all of them\, but we hope you will!  There will be an informal gathering at the Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve from 4 pm to 5:30 pm\, along with a tour of the preserve and its wildflower meadow. Light refreshments will be served. Participants can ask questions and share experiences with one another. \n4. How can I get a Pollinator Pathway sign? \nPollinator Pathway signs will be available for purchase for $20 at the Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve on the day of the tour for $20\, while supplies last (cash or check only). \n5. What if it rains?  \nThe tour will take place\, rain or shine! \n6. What if I have further questions?  \nVisit the regional Pollinator Pathway\, the Native Plant Trust\, and the Massachusetts Pollinator Network for more information on ecological gardening.

SUMMARY:Learning Series: Combining Art and Science to Save Species
DESCRIPTION:Wildlife populations are declining around the world because of human impacts\, and yet too few of us are part of the solution. In this presentation\, Dr. Lucy Spelman\, founder of the local organization Creature Conserve\, offers a behind-the-scenes look at how combining art and science can bring us together to save species. \nThe event will take place on Tuesday\, Oct. 20\, at 7 pm in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, our partner in the Learning Series. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \n“Dr. Lucy” believes that we need a more inviting and inclusive approach to wildlife conservation\, one that open to diverse perspectives from the arts\, humanities\, sciences\, traditional ecological knowledge and beyond.  \nDrawing from her years as a zoo and wildlife veterinarian\, she describes some of her first experiences with art-sci collaboration. These stories are wild and wonderful\, from glue-on shoes for a rhino to parading for pandas. \nShe’ll introduce us to the work of Creature Conserve\, the non-profit she founded\, and her newest book\, Creature Needs\, which will be available for sale. You’ll see examples of art informed and inspired by science that call attention to the loss of biodiversity and what we can do about it. \n \nAbout Dr. Lucy Spelman \n“Dr. Lucy” is a world-renowned zoo and wildlife veterinarian\, writer\, and educator. She has cared for animals in every imaginable setting\, from our pets at home to those remaining in the vanishing wild. She also brings artists and scientists together to create new pathways for wildlife conservation\, both as an educator at the Rhode Island School of Design and as the founder of Creature Conserve. \nShe has authored several books\, including The Rhino with Glue-on Shoes\, the National Geographic Kids Animal Encyclopedia\, and Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation. \n  \nThanks to our 2026 Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n \n  \n \nCharles E.

SUMMARY:Learning Series: The Little Things that Run the World (Documentary)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD\, an award-winning 105-minute documentary that introduces viewers to a diverse group of scientists\, nature lovers\, gardeners\, farmers and general bug enthusiasts in exploring the importance of flying insects amid rapid declines in their numbers.  \nThe event will take place on Tuesday\, Nov. 10\, at 6:30 pm in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, our partner in the Learning Series. A discussion will follow the film for those who are interested. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nView the trailer \n \nThis most numerous group of animals on the planet by far – three quarters of all species – have also been called the “glue of life” on Earth.  They literally hold ecosystems together.  Insects were the first animals to evolve flight more than 400 million years ago\, and they survived all five of the known mass extinctions since then.  But there is evidence that the pace of decline among insects in parts of the world today is fast approaching the levels of previous catastrophes.  \nWhat this means for the rest of life on Earth\, including humans\, is the focus of THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD.  The film documents the mysteries of the declines along side creative and heroic human efforts to change the course of evolutionary history.  What is causing this extinction crisis?  What can be done to reverse the trend?  THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD attempts to find answers to those questions and more. \nFilm Festivals and Experts Applaud the Film \n“This year\, we are incredibly excited to honor a film that championed a crucial environmental theme with artistic mastery\, transforming what could be a purely academic subject into an accessible and deeply engaging cinematic experience. More importantly\, it leaves us with a sense of wonder and a gentle\, optimistic call to action\, inspiring us to appreciate and protect the delicate balance of our natural world. It’s a mesmerizing exploration of the vital yet often overlooked role of insects in our global ecosystem. It is both scientifically rigorous and visually stunning\, taking us on a journey into the intricate world of these tiny creatures\, and reminding us how fundamental they are to life as we know it.” Lighthouse International Film Festival Jury \n“THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD is a passionate and comprehensive deep dive into the ecological crisis facing flying insects and the ripple effects on global biodiversity.” Doc Screenings International Film Festival \n“THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD is a visual treat! You’ll come for the incredible insect photography and stay for the important lessons on land use\, habitat disruption\, native plants\, and avoiding monocultures. A visually entrancing film that reminds us of the perils of ignoring the needs of our invertebrate neighbors.” Chris Stelzig\, Executive Director\, Entomological Society of America \n“What a terrific and timely summary of the global status of insects! E.O. Wilson and more than a dozen other world-renown scientists provide insightful critiques of the anthropogenic causes of insect declines and what we can do going forward to protect insect biodiversity. The stunning photography\, sobering statistics\, and insightful interviews make the film a valuable resource for students\, educators\, conservation biologists\, policy makers\, and environmentalists looking to build a more sustainable and just future for humanity and nature.” David Wagner\, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, University of Connecticut. \nThanks to our 2026 Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n  \n \nCharles E.
