SUMMARY:Learning Series: How Healthy is Narragansett Bay?
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, Oct. 8\, at 7 pm for a presentation on the health of Narragansett Bay by Dr. Warren Prell\, Professor of Oceanography Emeritus\, Department of Earth\, Environmental and Planetary Sciences\, Brown University. \nThe presentation will take place in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, our partner in the Land Trust Learning Series. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nFifty years ago\, Narragansett Bay was heavily polluted with excess nutrients (mostly Nitrogen) and coliform bacteria.  These conditions led to hypoxia (low oxygen)\, high chlorophyll levels\, fish kills\, and much of the upper bay closed to shell fishing.  \nToday\, the Bay is greatly improved.  The nitrogen input to the Bay have been reduced by 50%\, the area of hypoxia and excess chlorophyll has been dramatically reduced\, and the upper bay and part of the Providence River are conditionally open to shell fishing.  \nWarren will review how the Narragansett Bay estuary works\, what leads to hypoxia\, the changes that were made to reduce pollution levels\, and how the improvements to the Bay were monitored.  He will also speculate on how climate change may affect future hypoxia levels in the Bay. \nAbout Warren Prell \nDr. Warren Prell received a BA in 1966 with Honors from Hanover College and a PhD in 1974 from Columbia University. He became director of oceanographic and geologic programs for the NYC Energy Research and Development Authority before being appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown in 1975. He was promoted to full professor in 1989 and was appointed to the Henry L. Doherty Chair in Oceanography in 1990. \n  \nThanks to our 2025 Land Trust Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n\nMeridian Custom Homes ~ Providence\nCharles E. Millard\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk: St. Andrews Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 18\, at 9:30 am for a guided walk at St. Andrews Farm. This 28-acre expanse of field\, forest and athletic fields off Middle Highway in Barrington\, RI is owned by the Town and managed by the St. Andrews Farm Management Committee\, which is composed of Land Trust members\, abutters\, and several Town officials. \nThe terrain is gentle and the property is open to the public year-round\, dawn to dusk. The guided walk will last about an hour. All ages are welcome. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK \nThe walk will be led by Property Steward Ginger Brown. Ginger is a former president of the Land Trust and author of Dragonflies and Damselflies of Rhode Island. Ginger has more than 30 years of experience as a professional biologist and has been a staff member at The Nature Conservancy of Rhode Island\, Rhode Island Natural History Survey\, and the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. \nThe property was operated by St. Andrews School as a working farm from the 1890s until the 1960s. In 2000\, the McAdams Charitable Foundation\, through the generosity of Norman (“Sandy”) and Dorothy (“Dotty”) McCulloch\, purchased the property from St. Andrews School and donated it to the Town of Barrington. \nGinger Brown with visitors to St. Andrews Farm \nThis generous gift ensured that the property would be preserved and maintained as open recreational space for the benefit of the public. Part of the property was set aside for the construction of an athletic field. The remaining acres of rolling grassland and trees bounded by upland and wetland forests are preserved as conservation land. \nConsistent with the McCullochs’ goals for the property\, the Town and the Land Trust have worked together to restore the property to its original condition and encourage greater public use for walking\, birding and educational purposes. \n  \n\n\n\nThe McCulloch Fields contain a mix of plant communities ranging from field grasses and wildflowers interspersed with islands of shrubs and trees to a woodland buffer around the periphery. Of particular note are a rare Whorled milkweed (Asclepias verticullata) and a champion white oak tree with a trunk exceeding 12 feet in diameter. The fields provide a habitat for a wide variety of mammals\, birds\, amphibians\, reptiles and insects. Their proximity to the coastal flyway makes it a potentially important stop-over for migratory birds. \nFor more information about the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, please email Executive Director Cindy Elder.
