SUMMARY:CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER - Guided Walk: PIC-WIL Nature Preserve - Saturday\, June 24\, 9 am
DESCRIPTION:This walk has been cancelled due to weather. Please select a different event. \nJoin us on Saturday\, June 24\, at 9 am for a walk to PIC-WIL Nature Preserve. This 17-acre preserve of forest\, field\, salt marsh and coastal dunes on the east shore of the Providence River in Barrington. \nThe terrain is gentle but may be wet in places. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. You may wish to bring a walking stick or poles to assist you when crossing wet areas. \nThe walk will last about one hour. All ages are welcome. \nOnce home to a bottling facility owned by Deep Water Rock Company\, the property was donated to the Nature Conservancy by Catherine Picerelli in December of 1986 and deeded to the Barrington Land Conservation Trust in 1987\, to be preserved in perpetuity as a nature preserve. The donation was made in memory of the families of Peter J. Picerelli and Clifford M. Wilson: thus the name “PIC-WIL.” Although the property is generally closed to the public due to its status as a nature preserve\, the Land Trust opens PIC-WIL periodically for guided walks. \n  \nThe walk will be led by Peter Burke\, property steward and former President of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. The forest includes a wide variety of deciduous trees. The property is home to deer\, coyote\, fox\, weasels\, squirrels\, chipmunks and rabbits. \nPurple Martins nest here in late spring and summer. Common birds of the marsh and tidal creeks include Mallards\, American Black Ducks\, Snowy and Great Egrets\, Green-backed Herons\, Great Blue Herons\, and Osprey. Sharp-tailed Sparrows\, Belted Kingfishers and various shorebirds are other likely visitors of the wetland. \nNesting birds of the forest and its shrub border include Song Sparrow\, Carolina Wren\, Blue Jay\, Flicker\, Cardinal\, Goldfinch\, Robin\, Red-eyed Vireo\, Mockingbird\, Catbird\, Brown Thrasher and others. \nThree plants at PIC-WIL have “special interest” status in the state of Rhode Island: Creeping Spikerush (Eleocharis rostellata)\, Maritime Seablite (Suaeda maritima) and Robust Bulrush (Scirpus robustus). \nFor more information on the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, email Executive Director Cindy Elder.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk: Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve - Sunday\, June 25\, 8 am
DESCRIPTION:Early risers\, this walk’s for you! Join us on Sunday\, June 25\, at 8 am for a walk to Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve. This 32-acre expanse of field\, forest\, and salt marshes lies the border of the Palmer River\, off Sowams Road in Barrington\, RI. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK \nThe terrain is gentle but may be wet in places. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. You may wish to bring a walking stick or poles to assist you when crossing wet areas and narrow foot bridges. Dogs are not allowed on this property. \nThe walk will last about one hour. All ages are welcome. \nBill Kirkpatrick\, the Land Trust’s property steward for Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve\, will lead the walk.  He will guide you through the forest trail and take you down to the salt marshes\, where you can see the effects of sea level rise in real time. The bridge which allowed circumnavigation of the site was washed out during the floods of December 2022. It will be rebuilt this fall by a team of students from Roger Williams University’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders. \nYou’ll also see the first stage of a three-year planting program at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve\, funded in part by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Land Trust volunteers and the Audubon Youth Conservation League Team planted 38 native trees and shrubs in September 2022\, with more planting to come in 2023 and 2024. \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. \nFor more information about the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, email Executive Director Cindy Elder. \n
