SUMMARY:Art in Nature Series: 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\, Oct. 19\, 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 workshop is open to adults and students age 12+. No prior artistic experience is required. Registration is limited to 20 people. The registration fee of $20 covers the cost of materials\, payable by check or cash at the event. The artist is donating her time to conduct the workshop. \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.  \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.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk: Doug Rayner Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Doug Rayner Wildlife Refuge on Saturday\, Oct. 26 at 10 am and enjoy the fall colors and crisp autumn air. The walk is limited in size to ensure the best possible experience for participants. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK \nThe walk will be led by Peter McCalmont\, Chairman of the Doug Rayner Wildlife Refuge Management Committee\, and Charlie Brown\, retired wildlife biologist with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management\, Co-Chair of the Management Committee and Co-Manager of the Refuge.  \nThe Refuge is located on Nockum Hill on a peninsula extending into the Barrington River and Hundred Acre Cove estuary. Owned by the Town of Barrington\, the Refuge’s public hiking trails traverse 82 acres of field\, forest and shoreline. \nHistory of Nockum Hill \nNockum Hill has figured prominently in Barrington’s history. Once home to the Pokanoket people\, it is the site of the first Baptist meetinghouse in the New World. Legend has it that the first shots of King Philip’s War were fired nearby. \nThe town acquired the land in the 1960s and designated it as a wildlife refuge in 1994. The Barrington Land Conservation Trust was granted a conservation easement on the property in 2005 to ensure the property remains protected in perpetuity. This sensitive land is managed by the Doug Rayner Management Committee in collaboration with the Land Trust. \nIn 2000\, the Refuge was named after ardent naturalist Doug Rayner\, a member of the Barrington Conservation Commission and a board member of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. Doug was instrumental in protecting the marshes and upland buffers of the Palmer and Barrington Rivers\, Nockum Hill and Hundred Acre Cove\, and was active in protecting endangered species and their habitats. \nLong recognized as a property of great natural resource value because of its coastal wetland and habitat\, it includes extensive salt marsh\, shrub-dominated fields\, deciduous forest and farmland. It provides habitat for a wide variety of animals which make their home in the diverse ecosystem of the Refuge and several special interest bird species such as clapper rail\, seaside sparrow and marsh wren. \nThe Barrington Land Conservation Trust has preserved approximately 300 acres of open space in perpetuity for the benefit of the public.
