SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Sturgeon Full Moonrise Walk at Mount Hope Farm
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled due to weather. \nJoin the Bristol Land Conservation Trust (BLCT) for a Full Sturgeon Moonrise Walk on Monday\, August 19 at Mount Hope Farm. Celebrate the height of summer with a leisurely walk to the shore field\, about 0.8 miles\, as we wait for the moonrise at about 7:58 p.m.\, sky conditions permitting. We’ll be on the lookout for wildlife on the way down\, particularly around the pond. Sturgeon Moon comes from the giant lake sturgeons that were readily caught during this part of summer. It’s also the first Supermoon of the year\, which means that it will appear bigger and brighter than the full moons we have seen so far this year. \nThe event\, which takes place at 250 Metacom Avenue\, Bristol RI\, begins at 6:30 p.m. with guests gathering in the main parking lot just below the barn. Please wear appropriate walking shoes\, and bring bug repellent\, binoculars and flashlight (for the walk back) if desired. The event should conclude by 9 p.m. \nThe cash or check only fee is $15 per person\, a maximum of $25 for families\, and free for BLCT members. Payable at door. Proceeds will benefit the conservation and stewardship / maintenance efforts of the BLCT. \nFor more information\, email BristolLandTrust@gmail.com or call Ray Payson at (401) 255-4903.

SUMMARY:Evening Walk at Johannis Farm Wildlife Preserve
DESCRIPTION:The Rhode Island Land Trust Council is posting this event on behalf of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. For this event\, BLCT requires that you register directly with them.  Please register here. \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. \nJohannis Farm Wildlife Preserve is located on Sowams Road\, 0.7 miles north of Sowams Elementary School. The 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. Dogs are not allowed because of the birds and animals that make this wildlife preserve their home. \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 permitting 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.

SUMMARY:Narrow River Land Trust Workshop on Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:The Rhode Island Land Trust Council is posting this event on behalf of the Narrow River Land Trust. For this event\, NRLT requires that you register directly with them. Please register by emailing Office@Narrowriverlandtrust.org by September 8th. \nThe end of summer is a good time to turn your attention to the treatment of invasive species in your yard and your neighborhood. This is the time of year that the plants are sending their nutrients back into their roots and setting their seeds that will be scattered by birds and small mammals. Want to learn more? Come to the Narrow River Land Trust Workshop on Invasive Species! \nThe training will include information on several of the most serious and pervasive plants\, their identification\, and control strategies. It will also include a hands-on demonstration of the tools used to control the plants and a discussion of some chemical options. In the field\, we will identify many of the plants discussed and spend some time removing them. The field work will be mechanical only\, but the discussion of the chemical options will be integrated in the tour of the invasive species. The fieldwork will be held at a NRLT property adjacent to the training venue. \nLocation details will be provided upon RSVP to Office@Narrowriverlandtrust.org.
