City Nature Challenge Biodiversity Walk at Johannis Farm
2026-04-26 11:00 - 12:30 | Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve
Join us for the City Nature Challenge Biodiversity Walk on Sunday, April 26, at 11 am at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve in Barrington, RI.
REGISTER FOR THE EVENT
This 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!

Participants 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.

Using 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.

No 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.

Please bring:

Comfortable walking shoes / boots.
A charged smartphone with the iNaturalist app downloaded (Available for Android and iPhone)
Curiosity about nature!

Please note: There are no bathroom facilities at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve.
Walk away with new observation skills, a deeper understanding of local biodiversity, and the tools to keep exploring nature after the Challenge ends!

Optional iNaturalist Training with Audubon

If 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.

As climate change quickens—bringing with it extreme weather, biodiversity loss and humanitarian crises—four teens help organize the world’s largest climate protest. Hundreds of thousands join them, taking to the streets of New York City and demanding answers.
How did climate change get this bad? Who’s to blame? And most importantly: What can we do about it?
In their stunning graphic novel, Meera Subramanian and New York Times best-selling illustrator Danica Novgorodoff share experiences from their lives and those of the four youth activists. Extensively researched interludes answer questions such as “What is climate change?” and “What is environmental (in)justice?” so readers can learn not just the science but the social implications of our changing planet and then explore solutions at hand.
They show us that anyone can make meaningful change, because a better world is possible—and together, we can create it! A Better World Is Possible will be available for sale at the event.
About Meera Subramanian
Meera Subramanian is an award-winning freelance journalist who writes narrative nonfiction about home in the personal and planetary sense, in a time of climate crisis.
Her work has appeared in publications such as Nature, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Orion, where she is a contributing editor.
Her first book was A River Runs Again: India’s Natural World in Crisis, which was short-listed for the 2016 Orion Book Award. A National Geographic Explorer, Meera has received numerous grants and fellowships.

Allin’s Cove
Allin’s Cove Conservation Area is a 20-acre stretch of marsh, grassland and wooded upland surrounding a tidal cove along the Providence River in the Northwest corner of Barrington, RI. The Cove was named for General Thomas Allin, whose grave still stands in a nearby graveyard.
In the early to mid-1900s, manufacturing facilities in the nearby Bay Spring Village pumped pollution from dye vats and other sources directly into the Cove. In 1959, the Army Corps of Engineers disposed of dredge spoils on 11 acres of salt marsh and tidal flats at the Cove.
In the late 1990s, restoration efforts began through a partnership with neighborhood advocates, Save the Bay, the Town of Barrington, and the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. The Coastal Resource Management Council obtained a reparation agreement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, resulting in a $760K project to relocate the channel in the cove and restore the salt marsh.
The cove supports a variety of aquatic species, raptors, song birds, mammals and pollinating insects.
