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.

โฐItโs almost time for 401Gives, Rhode Islandโs Statewide Day of Giving, celebrated every year on 4/01 in honor of the Ocean Stateโs area code. This year, the online fundraiser will run for two full days:
๐ณMONDAY, April 1 beginning at 6am through TUESDAY, April 2 ending at 6pm.๐ณ
โผ๏ธOn 4/01 if youโd like to join the 401Gives fun and support the Westerly Land Trustโs conservation efforts, local small scale agriculture and environmental education programs, please follow the link in our bio or visit
401gives.org/organizations/westerly-land-trust.โผ๏ธ
Powered by United Way of Rhode Island, this is the 5th consecutive 401Gives and the Westerly Land Trustโs 5th time participating. We registered for our first at the end of 2019, and boy, were we glad we did when April 1, 2020 rolled around and our traditional fundraising plans faced an uncertain future. Our amazing supporters rallied to raise $10,000 for WLT in just one day, signaling peopleโs need for connection with nature during a tumultuous time. 401Gives has held a soft spot in our hearts ever since. But itโs more than just what this event does for WLT. All across the state on this day, people are showing up to support the causes that they appreciate most!
Thank you in advance for your generosity.๐๐ณ

โจ๐ฑToday, March 19th, the vernal equinox occurs at 11:06 pm, bringing spring to the Northern Hemisphere.
We are often told day and night are both 12 hours long during an equinox. But did you know we actually experience more daylight? ๐
The Earthโs atmosphere bends the sunโs rays like a lens would. You can see the light from the sun rise or set a few minutes before and after the โ๏ธ crosses the horizon line.
Enjoy these signs of spring around Barlow!๐ธ
