SUMMARY:4th Annual WLT Mini BioBlitz at Champlin Farm Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Calling all curious humans! Let’s get out there and find all the life that surrounds us\, both small and large.\n\n\nA BioBlitz is an event that focuses on discovering and identifying as many living species as possible. From fungi to trees\, mammals to insects\, and everything in between\, we will try to catch ‘em all– this time at WLT’s latest conserved property\, the 90-acre Champlin Farm Preserve! \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the fields\, forests\, rocky outcroppings\, and riverbank of our newest property. Our stewardship group\, the CCC\, has been hard at work removing invasives and clearing trails. There is also a 7-acre gravel pit on the property that promises some interesting finds\, despite its disturbed nature. \nThis is a FREE\, all-ages\, all-abilities\, and family-friendly event – it doesn’t matter if you are an expert naturalist or have never stepped into the woods before. The event begins at 10am and we will romp\, collect\, and explore until 2 pm. If you’d like to explore before the event starts or after it ends\, you are more than welcome to! Just let us know so we can make sure you know the lay of the land. \nParticipants are encouraged to pack a lunch. Light snacks\, water\, and refreshments will be available as well. We will all take a break\, swap stories\, and have lunch together at noon. \nThere are some great tools out there\, besides field guides and experts\, that can help you identify all kinds of different plants and animals. Be sure to download apps like iNaturalist from the App Store. Play around with them beforehand and be sure to show up with a full battery! \nThe link to the official iNaturalist project will be coming soon! \nIf you have any questions\, send ’em over to Marc (mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org)

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Slow down\, awaken your senses and connect with Nature as you luxuriate in a Forest Bath!\n\n\nJoin Deirdre O’Connor for a slow and easy walk in Wahaneeta Preserve. Forest Bathing is the pleasant practice of spending time in nature to enhance health and happiness. Evidence-based research confirms that time in nature has profound healing benefits for physical and emotional well – being. The term Forest Bathing comes from the Japanese tradition of “shin-rin yoku” literally translated to “bathing in the atmosphere of the forest”. On this walk you will experience and learn about how the regular practice of Forest Bathing can restore health and vitality by strengthening immune function\, lowering stress hormones\, improving mood and sleep\, and stimulating creativity. Forest Bathing also offers us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with the natural world. \nYou will be walking slowly for about one mile on mostly flat but uneven forest trails as you are offered a series of invitations to explore the landscape with your senses and connect with the natural world. We will be walking and sitting for 2 hours and will finish our walk by sharing tea together. This experience is open to ages 15 and up. \n  \n\nRegistration is required. Spots are limited.\n\n\nFree for WLT members\, $10 for not-yet-members (If you’d like to join WLT\, please click here.)\n\n\nParking is limited please carpool if possible.\n\nDeirdre O’Connor is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. Deirdre is delighted to share the Healing power of Nature through Forest Bathing where Nature and our true natures come to know one another. She resides in Westerly\, enjoying birding\, botany\, bicycling and exploring the next cool place to share Forest Bathing.

Everyone is welcome to help us protect unique and rare plant populations in Grills Preserve from invasive plants like garlic mustard\, Japanese honeysuckle\, and round leaf bittersweet.  \n We will take a 1.5-mile hike to a small\, rocky hilltop to hand-pull invasive plants before they outcompete some unique early-season perennial wildflowers. On our walk back to the trailhead\, we might stop by a few small meadows and cut back woody growth while looking for signs of other important native wildflowers.  \n Come prepared for a couple of hours in the woods with weather-appropriate clothing\, work gloves\, loppers\, tick and sun protection\, and water.   \nEmail WLT’s Land Stewardship Manager\, Marc\, at mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org with any questions.  \n  \nThank you for helping steward our lands\, and don’t forget to bring your mother!
