SUMMARY:Evening Walk at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Property Steward Bill Kirkpatrick \nExperience an evening walk at one of Barrington’s rarely seen wilderness areas with the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. \nOn Thursday\, Aug. 29\, at 5 pm\, join a guided walk through the Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve\, a 32-acre expanse of field\, forest and wetland between Sowams Road and the Palmer River. The walk will be led by Property Steward Bill Kirkpatrick. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nDogs are not allowed because of the birds and animals that make this wildlife preserve their home.  \nJohannis Farm Wildlife Preserve is located on Sowams Road\, 0.7 miles north of Sowams Elementary School. \nThe walk takes approximately one hour over wet and moderate terrain. We recommend you wear lightweight long pants\, sturdy shoes and socks\, and a lightweight long-sleeved shirt to protect against mosquitos and ticks. Bug spray will be available.  Parking is available on site. \nBe aware that the primary bridge which connected the two sides of the property was washed out during a king high tide storm. You will be able to walk both sides of the property\, but you won’t be able to walk it as a loop trail. A new bridge is in the planning phase. \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. \n\n\n\n\nAdd to calendar
