SUMMARY:PIC-WIL Nature Preserve Walk with Barrington Land Conservation Trust
DESCRIPTION:Registration required — see link below. \nJoin the Barrington Land Conservation Trust 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. \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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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). \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. \nPark on the side of Tallwood Drive (off Washington Road) in Barrington\, RI. The group will meet at the trailhead\, which is directly across from Tallwood on Washington Road\, Barrington\, RI. \nThe walk will last about an hour and a half. All ages are welcome. No dogs. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Soil Solarization Walk & Talk at Pic-Wil Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Location: Barrington\nREGISTER BY EMAILING education@blct.org. \nJoin the Barrington Land Conservation Trust for a walk and talk about Soil Solarization at Pic-Wil Nature Preserve (which is normally closed to the public)! Learn about this technique used in preparation for planting a wildflower meadow. \nSite preparation is one of the most important components to a meadow’s success. Come view a pollinator meadow experiment using the soil solarization technique on a small 10’x20’ plot. \nSoil Solarization is a very effective\, environmentally friendly method to control weed growth in preparation for planting a meadow. It is done by placing clear plastic over the soil’s surface and using the sun’s radiation to heat the soil and eliminate weeds and weed seeds. View the experiment’s first year results using this solarization technique at the Pic-Wil Nature Preserve in Barrington. \nThis special nature preserve is normally closed to the public and a tour will be available at the conclusion of the event. \nPic-Wil Preserve is flat with uneven terrain. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring bug spray. Please follow tick preparedness procedure. \nDogs are not permitted at this nature preserve. \nRain Date: None. Rain/thunderstorms may cancel the event. Updates will be shared on the Facebook & Meetup events. \nQuestions? Email education@blct.org (…or post a question in the Facebook or Meetup event!) \nMeeting Place/Directions: Pic-Wil Nature Preserve is located on Washington Road in Barrington between Tallwood Drive and Spinnaker Drive. Look for the Barrington Land Conservation Trust banner between Tallwood Drive and Spinnaker Drive on Washington Rd. \nParking for event: Tallwood Drive or Spinnaker Drive off Washington Road. \nLearn more about Barrington Land Conservation Trust HERE.
