SUMMARY:Art in Nature: Being [with] Trees with Kendall Reiss
DESCRIPTION:The Barrington Land Conservation Trust’s “Art in Nature” Series presents a community workshop\, “Being [with] Trees\,” on Saturday\, Aug. 23\, from 9 am to noon\, with artist Kendall Reiss. The workshop will take place at Sowams Woods in Barrington\, RI. Participants will learn to produce molds from natural materials and transform them into art objects and wearables. \nThis free workshop is open to adults and students age 12+. No prior artistic experience is required. Registration is limited to 20 people.   \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nSowams Woods\, one of the properties protected by the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, is part of the ancestral homelands of the Pokanoket people. The preserve is considered a sacred area by the Pokonoket Tribe\, a place of peace that was once set aside for women and for childbirth. In 2006\, the Land Trust acquired Sowams Woods with the support of local\, state\, and federal funding and local philanthropists. The property encompasses 12 acres of forested land with a network of trails bordering Echo Lake.  \n \nMolding a Relationship with Trees \n“With their ability to sequester carbon and provide clean water\, forests are integral to understand earth’s climate and cultivate sustainable ecosystems\,” says artist Kendall Reiss\, a Professor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. \nIn this community workshop\, participants will work with two different types of alginate to produce molds from trees\, rocks\, pinecones\, and natural materials found at Sowams Woods. From these molds\, participants will cast objects and wearables in concrete. \nKendall Reiss has conducted artistic projects among indigenous tree-species reforestation sites in Portugal\, in networks of old growth forest in the Southern Appalachian Mountains\, in the pine-esker forests of Finland\, and with an indigenous tulip tree elder in her hometown of Bristol\, R.I. Her work takes many forms: jewelry\, objects\, conversations\, writings\, rituals\, exhibits\, shared understandings\, and community workshops. \n“My hope is to fuel an ongoing collaboration in which trees are participants in artistic creation and biologic exchange\,” she says. \nWorksop Handout \nKendall Reiss \nAbout Kendall Reiss \nKendall Reiss is a Professor of the Practice in Metals at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston\, where she serves as Chair of the 3D & Performance Department. A native of Bristol\, she grew up exploring the rocky shoreline of Narragansett Bay.

SUMMARY:Learning Series: Thirst for Justice (documentary film)
DESCRIPTION:Mary Lyons\, an Ojibwe elder and spiritual advisor\, at Standing Rock. \nJoin us for a free screening of Thirst for Justice\, an award-winning documentary film about the quest for clean water\, directed and produced by Leana Hosea. The event will take place on Tuesday\, Sept. 9\, at 7 pm in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library. The 58-minute film will be followed by audience response. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nThis event is part of the Land Trust Learning Series\, a partnership between the Land Trust and the Barrington Public Library and supported by local sponsors. \nArmed only with facts and their illnesses\, extraordinary citizens take on industry and government\, risking arrest to protect clean water. From Flint to the Navajo Nation\, via Standing Rock\, this is their story.  \nTHIRST FOR JUSTICE follows Janene Yazzie as she searches for the source of contamination in her son’s school’s water in Sanders\, Arizona. She suspects drinking uranium-contaminated water from the 1979 Church Rock dam spill caused her ovarian cancer. \nArmed with a geiger counter she begins investigating radioactive waste on the Navajo Nation and finds areas hotter than evacuation zones in Chernobyl.  \nWhen the epic movement for water justice ignites in Standing Rock\, Janene is compelled to join. There she meets Flint water activist Nayyirah Shariff and their struggles converge. \nJanene travels to Flint\, where she sees first hand the similarities between what’s happening in this inner-city and the Navajo experience. \nThe sacredness of water flows through the film\, with the water ceremonies and teachings from water carriers\, like Mary Lyons and other Water Protectors. \n \n  \nThanks to our 2025 Land Trust Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n\nMeridian Custom Homes ~ Providence\nCharles E.

SUMMARY:Learning Series: How Healthy is Narragansett Bay?
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, Oct. 8\, at 7 pm for a presentation on the health of Narragansett Bay by Dr. Warren Prell\, Professor of Oceanography Emeritus\, Department of Earth\, Environmental and Planetary Sciences\, Brown University. \nThe presentation will take place in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, our partner in the Land Trust Learning Series. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nFifty years ago\, Narragansett Bay was heavily polluted with excess nutrients (mostly Nitrogen) and coliform bacteria.  These conditions led to hypoxia (low oxygen)\, high chlorophyll levels\, fish kills\, and much of the upper bay closed to shell fishing.  \nToday\, the Bay is greatly improved.  The nitrogen input to the Bay have been reduced by 50%\, the area of hypoxia and excess chlorophyll has been dramatically reduced\, and the upper bay and part of the Providence River are conditionally open to shell fishing.  \nWarren will review how the Narragansett Bay estuary works\, what leads to hypoxia\, the changes that were made to reduce pollution levels\, and how the improvements to the Bay were monitored.  He will also speculate on how climate change may affect future hypoxia levels in the Bay. \nAbout Warren Prell \nDr. Warren Prell received a BA in 1966 with Honors from Hanover College and a PhD in 1974 from Columbia University. He became director of oceanographic and geologic programs for the NYC Energy Research and Development Authority before being appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown in 1975. He was promoted to full professor in 1989 and was appointed to the Henry L. Doherty Chair in Oceanography in 1990. \n  \nThanks to our 2025 Land Trust Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n\nMeridian Custom Homes ~ Providence\nCharles E. Millard\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk: St. Andrews Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 18\, at 9:30 am for a guided walk at St. Andrews Farm. This 28-acre expanse of field\, forest and athletic fields off Middle Highway in Barrington\, RI is owned by the Town and managed by the St. Andrews Farm Management Committee\, which is composed of Land Trust members\, abutters\, and several Town officials. \nThe terrain is gentle and the property is open to the public year-round\, dawn to dusk. The guided walk will last about an hour. All ages are welcome. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK \nThe walk will be led by Property Steward Ginger Brown. Ginger is a former president of the Land Trust and author of Dragonflies and Damselflies of Rhode Island. Ginger has more than 30 years of experience as a professional biologist and has been a staff member at The Nature Conservancy of Rhode Island\, Rhode Island Natural History Survey\, and the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. \nThe property was operated by St. Andrews School as a working farm from the 1890s until the 1960s. In 2000\, the McAdams Charitable Foundation\, through the generosity of Norman (“Sandy”) and Dorothy (“Dotty”) McCulloch\, purchased the property from St. Andrews School and donated it to the Town of Barrington. \nGinger Brown with visitors to St. Andrews Farm \nThis generous gift ensured that the property would be preserved and maintained as open recreational space for the benefit of the public. Part of the property was set aside for the construction of an athletic field. The remaining acres of rolling grassland and trees bounded by upland and wetland forests are preserved as conservation land. \nConsistent with the McCullochs’ goals for the property\, the Town and the Land Trust have worked together to restore the property to its original condition and encourage greater public use for walking\, birding and educational purposes. \n  \n\n\n\nThe McCulloch Fields contain a mix of plant communities ranging from field grasses and wildflowers interspersed with islands of shrubs and trees to a woodland buffer around the periphery. Of particular note are a rare Whorled milkweed (Asclepias verticullata) and a champion white oak tree with a trunk exceeding 12 feet in diameter. The fields provide a habitat for a wide variety of mammals\, birds\, amphibians\, reptiles and insects. Their proximity to the coastal flyway makes it a potentially important stop-over for migratory birds. \nFor more information about the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, please email Executive Director Cindy Elder.

SUMMARY:Day After Thanksgiving Walk - Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve
DESCRIPTION: \nOn Friday Nov. 28\, between 11 am and 1 pm\, Land Trust volunteers will be stationed at waypoints to assist visitors on a self-guided walk through the Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve\, a 32-acre expanse of field\, forest and wetland between Sowams Road and the Palmer River.\n \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT\n \nDogs are not allowed because of the birds and animals that make this wildlife preserve their home. You may arrive anytime between 11 am and 1 pm. Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve is located on Sowams Road\, 0.7 miles north of Sowams Elementary School. The walk takes approximately one hour over wet and moderate terrain. Wear boots! Severe weather cancels the event. Parking is available on site.\n\nBe aware that the primary bridge which connected the two sides of the property is under construction but may not be installed by this date. You will be able to walk both sides of the property\, but you won’t be able to walk it as a loop trail.  \nJohannis Farm Wildlife Preserve was acquired by the Land Trust in 1991 through a combination of Rhode Island and Barrington Open Space bonds and charitable donations to the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. Due to the sensitive native plants and animals on the property\, it is not generally open to the public. The Land Trust hosts several guided walks each year to enable the public to experience the property\, which has been preserved as a wilderness reserve in perpetuity.
