SUMMARY:Guided Walk: Echo Lake and Sowams Woods
DESCRIPTION:Capture the morning light on a guided walk from Echo Lake to Sowams Woods on Friday\, November 6 at 9 am. We’ll walk along the lakeside and then explore the network of trails at Sowams Woods\, one of the gems in the Land Trust’s array of public trails. All ages are welcome. We’ll walk at a moderate pace and stop occasionally to discuss the history and ecology of this conservation area\, considered sacred to the Pokanoket people. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nWHAT TO WEAR/BRING \nDress for the weather. We recommend long pants\, sturdy shoes and long socks that can be pulled up over the hem of your pants for extra protection against ticks. We will have tick spray available if you need it. \nBring a water bottle and a device to take photographs at this beautiful location! \nDIRECTIONS \nSowams Woods is a 12-acre nature preserve in Barrington\, RI. We’ll park in the dirt parking area near Echo Lake at the juncture of South Lake Drive and North Lake Drive (see picture below – where red dot marks Sowams Woods). Enter South Lake Drive via Middle Highway and cross over the bike path to access the parking area. \nIf you want to use GPS\, enter 2 South Lake Drive\, Barrington (a residence). Then follow South Lake a short distance across the bike path and drive straight into the parking area. Be aware that South Lake Drive ends at this juncture\, even though GPS may show it continuing through to Washington Rd. This old section of the road is now a path\, so don’t try to get there from Washington Rd. \n\n \n\n

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.
