๐ Our Earth Day celebrations continued today with our ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ Book Club, in partnership with @westerlylibraryandwilcoxpark. We gathered โround the fire in Wahaneeta Preserveโs cozy cabin and discussed Henry David Thoreauโs life and works, specifically his book ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ. Then we took a peaceful hike through the woods with Thoreauโs words fresh in our heads. Consider his line: โIt would be worth the while if in each town there were a committee appointed to see that the beauty of the town received no detriment.โ We at the Westerly Land Trust are proud to play a role preserving Westerlyโs charm and character by protecting open spaces for the enduring benefit of our community.

๐ฆJust one of the many critters students found while
dipping-netting in the pond at Wahaneeta Preserve.๐ฆ
Crayfish are found in fresh water in many places around the world. They have a hard and protective exoskeleton that sheds as they grow. A single tail flip can propel them through the water when they feel threatened, perfectly demonstrated by our little friend in the video.
๐๐ฅThere are still spots open for our next two Living Laboratories sessions- Interesting Insects and Farming with Friends. ๐
Our Farm Squad 4-week FREE summer program is still open as well. If the session youโre interested in is full, please join our waitlist! Select โYouth Educationโ in the link in our bio to register. ๐ณ

Did you know skunk cabbage is one of the first plants to emerge in the spring?๐ฆจ๐ฑ
Even if all the โ๏ธ we had this winter was snow, you could still see their dark purple leaf, known as the spathe, poking up through the surface. This is part of the flower that blooms before the bright green cabbage-like foliage unfolds. ๐ก๏ธThe process of cyanide-resistant cellular respiration allows this unique plant to produce heat at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, melting any snow or ice surrounding it.
If you step on skunk cabbage or it becomes injured in any way, the stench will most likely turn your stomach. BUT! Flies, beetles, and other pollinators are attracted to the skunk-like odor and help the plant reproduce. ๐ฆ๐ชณ๐

๐Weโve made it to Aprilโ the start of the second quarter of the year. Spring is officially here as evidenced by the glorious daffodils and budding forsythia.
April is a funny monthโ the days are longer and the flowers are blooming, but here in New England that wind sure is brisk. Donโt put away those winter coats just yet! โ๏ธ
๐ณNevertheless, we at the Westerly Land Trust look forward to getting outdoors and taking in all the sights and sounds of the changing season. We hope to see you there.
