SUMMARY:Learning Series: Global Saltmarsh Degradation - with Mark Bertness
DESCRIPTION:2023 Land Trust Learning Series\nView the Presentation on YouTube. \nJoin us for a special lecture on saltmarsh degradation by Dr. Mark Bertness. This is the first event in our 2023 Land Trust Learning Series. \nDr. Bertness will bring the challenge of saltmarsh degradation into focus. Coastal saltmarshes are one of the most valuable ecosystems on the Earth in terms of the services they provide humanity. Historically\, however\, marshes have been extensively ditched\, drained and developed\, motivating the conservation and restoration of remaining marshes. \nConservation of the surviving local marshes is not an easy task\, since the most severe current threats are not local\, but global. Eutrophication\, invasive species\, sea level rise\, and overfishing lead to trophic collapse. These large-scale problems impact coastal wetlands across the globe. Dr. Bertness will examine how these factors\,  individually and collectively\, are leading to rapid degradation of Narragansett Bay marshes and the entire East Coast of North America. \nAbout Mark Bertness \nMark Bertness grew up beach combing on the shores of the Salish Sea in Washington State\, where he developed a passion for shoreline ecology. His research has taken him to Panama\, the Netherlands\, Sardinia\, Argentina\, Chile\, China — and Barrington\, Rhode Island. He has authored several books on marine ecology\, one of which he wrote while sitting in the Barrington Public Library. Mark Bertness is the Robert P. Brown Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Emeritus at Brown University. \nThe event will be live-streamed. If you would like to be added to the live-stream list\, please email Cindy Elder. \nThis event would not be possible without our sponsors. For information on how you can sponsor the 2023 Land Trust Learning Series\, email Cindy Elder or call 508-733-2443.

SUMMARY:Walk at Osamequin Nature Preserve - Thursday\, April 20\, 10 am - EVENT FULL
DESCRIPTION:This event is full. Please select a walk on another day. \nIn April\, as we celebrate Earth Day\, our free monthly walk takes us to Osamequin Nature Preserve\, a 42-acre conservation area along the western shore of Hundred Acre Cove in Barrington\, RI. The property is owned by the Town and co-managed by the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, the Barrington Garden Club\, and the Town of Barrington. \nThe parking area holds only 12 cars\, and there is no other nearby parking available. Therefore\, registration is limited. You may bring only one car per registration\, but you may bring as many people as you can safely hold in your vehicle. Carpooling is encouraged! \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK. \nThe terrain is gentle but wet in places. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy\, waterproof footwear. You may wish to bring a walking stick or poles to assist you when crossing wet areas. The property is open to the pubic throughout the year. \nOsamequin Nature Preserve is rich with history as part of the ancestral homelands of the Pokanoket people who occupied these lands prior to colonization. It is now home to a diversity of animals and native plant species that depend on this property for habitat and food. \nThe property’s extensive network of trails introduces visitors to fields\, forests and salt marshes where you can see first-hand the effects of sea level rise as well as nature’s ability to regenerate after a fire. \nAfter the flooding on Dec. 23\, 2022\, extreme high tides and gale force winds caused flooding throughout the preserve and lifted one bridge off its pilings\, causing the closure of one section of trails. A fire which took place last fall burned a small area of the preserve\, where regrowth is now visible. \nThe walk will be co-led by Kathryn Beauchamp\, co-chair of the Barrington Garden Club’s Osamequin Management Team\, and Victor Lerish\, Chair of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust’s Stewardship Team. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK. \nThe Barrington Land Conservation Trust relies on public support to acquire and maintain the conservation lands. You can contribute to our efforts by making a donation or volunteering your time. Thank you!
