Hikes, Paddles, & Wellness

 

At the Westerly Land Trust, we love to guide outdoor experiences for our community.

Thursday Hikes/Paddles: CLICK HERE FOR THURSDAY HIKE FULL SCHEDULE Jan- Feb

CLICK HERE FOR FULL SCHEDULE March April 2024

Each Thursday, we have either a guided hike (fall, winter, and spring) or a guided paddle (summer). Thursday hikes and paddles are FREE for all and begin at 10am, unless otherwise stated. For these events, you will visit various local conservation properties, including some of our Westerly Land Trust preserves. Walks are between 1 ½ to 3 hours and are open to all ages with the target group being agile seniors.

Event Hikes
Event hikes are generally centered around a theme and include seasonal refreshments. These hikes are FREE for WLT members and $10 for not-yet members. Some of the more elaborate hikes are $5 for WLT members and $15 for not-yet members.

We hope you will join us for these outdoor adventures! They are great opportunities to meet new people and spend quality time outside.

Wellness in the Woods

The benefits of nature for mental and physical health are innumerable.  Here at the Westerly Land trust, we are grateful to play a role in connecting our community to the great outdoors for the holistic benefit of body, mind and soul.  Wellness in the Woods  is a series of outdoor events that was brought on by the pandemic and the increased interest in health and use of outdoor spaces. We are now entering our third year and our wellness programs are continuing to grow. All events are run in conjunction with highly trained and certified individuals/partners such as BarreCoastDr. Dierdre O’ConnorWesterly Track and Athletic Club, certified local yoga teachers, and certified mindful outdoor guides. We hope you will join us as we tap into the many benefits that nature has to offer.

Did you know that taking care of house plants can benefit your mind and body in many ways?🪴

Big thanks to @curlyruplants and Liz from @plantsbythevillage for bringing so much knowledge and love of plants to Barlow at our Houseplants 101 event this past week! 💟

Fellow plant enthusiasts got their hands dirty, discovered many plant parenthood tips, asked questions to troubleshoot problem plants at home, and even got to take home a new friend! 🌿

Happy Leap Day! February has an extra day every four years because it takes Earth 365.2422 days to orbit the sun - a solar year. ☀️

Our calendar year is rounded to 365 days so a Leap Year is needed to make up for the missing partial days. 

🐸How are you spending this extra day?
