SUMMARY:Weekend Stewardship Volunteer Day -- Invasive Plants at Avondale
DESCRIPTION:Avondale Farm Preserve is where it all began for the Westerly Land Trust — it is not only our first conserved property\, but a special place for wildlife and community. Once known as Lotteryville\, one of the earliest European settlements in Westerly\, Avondale is a place where coastal wildflower meadows\, hayfields\, shrublands and salt marsh meet the open mouth of Little Narragansett Bay. Its trails\, fields and shores provide a home for agriculture\, native biodiversity\, community and inspiration. \nPlant management in coastal grasslands like Avondale is essential\, as these “edge” habitats are prime locations for invasive plants to take over and outcompete native vegetation. WLT uses primarily mechanical efforts\, such as mowing\, lopping and pulling\, to keep invasive plants like porcelain berry and honeysuckle under control. Timing of these management efforts with the cycles of nature is key to their success. \nNative wildlfowers\, like this narrow-leaved mountain mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium)\, are often smothered and starved of sunlight by invasive plants. \nPorcelain berry (Ampelopsis brevipeduculata)\, a member of the grape family native to northern China and Japan\, was introduced to the United States in the 1870s. Its seeds are readily disbursed by mammals and birds. \nSo\, on Sunday\, August 4th from 8am to 10am\, the WLT stewardship team needs your help! Join WLT’s Land Stewardship Manager in the meadows of Avondale Farm Preserve (Quail Run entrance) as we work to pull and control invasive plants before they go to seed. We will manually pull or lop invasive plants\, remove the vegetation and romp through the blooming meadows. \nPart work day\, part plant ID walk\, this Weekend Volunteer Stewardship Day will hopefully leave you feeling both accomplished and better informed! \nIf you are interested in available\, we’d love your help! To sign-up please fill out the form below. \nFor more information\, please email Marc at mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org. \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Attendee’s PhoneHow Many in Your Party? *12345Additional Attendee First and Last Names *LIABILITY WAIVER *I agree to the additional terms.In consideration of receiving permission to participate in (educational) (volunteer) (recreational) opportunities of the Westerly Land Trust (WLT)\, I (legal guardian if a minor): \n1.

SUMMARY:Weekend Stewardship Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:South County’s salt ponds are one of our most precious resources — they are not only a unique ecosystem and a fun place to recreate\, but also a haven for breeding wildlife and a hotspot for sustainable aquaculture. \nBut the health of our salt ponds is threatened by rising sea levels\, warming waters\, encroaching development\, increased nutrient loads and invasive species. \n \nWLT\, Save the Bay and the Audubon Society of RI have teamed up to do our part to preserve the Winnapaug Pond marshlands by installing a system of runnels to help drain impounded water from the marsh platform. This impounded water can kill native marsh grasses\, promote invasive grasses\, lower the marsh platform and provide breeding grounds for excessive algae and mosquitoes. \nSince installing the runnels in 2019-2020\, we have observed a decrease in invasive grasses and seen areas of the marsh platform restored to native marsh grasses! But the work is not done as the runnels require annual maintenance\, so we need your help to keep the runnels flowing. \nJoin WLT and Save the Bay staff on Sunday\, June 9th from 8:30am to 11:00am as we unclog the wintertime’s wrack and help the runnels flow free. You will also get to learn more about the salt marsh ecosystem and maybe catch a glimpse of a salt marsh sparrow or tiny baby eels\, among other cool creatures. \nWork on the marsh requires muck/knee boots and a willingness to get a bit dirty! We will provide the shovels and rakes\, but have a limited number/size selection of extra muck boots\, so please bring your own if available. If you’d like to join but don’t have the boots\, let us know your size and we will see what we can do. \nIf you are interested in available\, we’d love your help!

SUMMARY:World Migratory Bird Day: Guided Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with the WLT and expert birder Maggie Jones by getting outside and experiencing the spring migration.\n\n\nWorld Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds\, their ecological importance\, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them. https://www.migratorybirdday.org/ \nJoin us as we welcome back the neo-tropical migrants as they return to their summer territories — from thrushes to warblers\, bluebirds to tanagers and beyond. This years WMBD theme is insects and their importance to migratory birds. \nDon’t forget to bring your binoculars! We will meet at Barlow Nature Preserve. Groups will head out to different WLT properties and gather back at Barlow to share our counts\, stories and coffee and snacks. \n\nRegistration required\, spots are limited.\nFREE for members\, $10 for not-yet-members.\nNot a member and would like to be? CLICK HERE!\n\n– —————————————————————————————————————— \nF rom World Migratory Bird Day 2024 \nINSECTS \nInsects and their importance to migratory birds is the focus of this year’s World Migratory Bird Day\, a global campaign that aims to raise awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to conserve them. \nInsects are essential sources of energy for many migratory bird species\, not only during the breeding seasons but also during their extensive journeys and greatly affect the timing\, duration\, and overall success of bird migrations.Along their migration routes\, birds actively seek out insects in fields\, forests\, wetlands\, and various habitats during stopovers. The timing of bird migration often coincides with peak insect abundance at stopover locations\, supplying nourishment for birds to replenish their energy reserves before continuing their journeys. \nThe loss and disturbance of insect populations at breeding sites and along avian migration routes threaten bird survival and well-being. Natural spaces like forests and grasslands that have been transformed or endangered by intensive agriculture and urban development and its effects such as light pollution can result in a decline in insect populations. Pesticides and herbicides designed to protect crops harm insects that birds rely on for food. A scarcity of energy- and protein-rich insects can hinder bird migration and breeding\, leading to weakened immune systems\, reduced reproductive success\, and increased mortality rates for both adult birds and their offspring. \nBirds play crucial roles in pollination and pest control\, and a lack of insects disrupts these ecosystem functions. Overpopulation of certain insects\, without natural predators from birds\, can also cause outbreaks that damage plant health and agriculture. \nThe World Migratory Bird Day campaign in 2024 will stress the need for proactive conservation measures. This includes reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers\, and where possible\, switching to organic farming. Other measures include maintaining and connecting areas of natural vegetation which provide food and shelter for birds and other species\, in agricultural landscapes. \nIn 2024\, World Migratory Bird Day will be celebrated on two days\, 11 May and 12 October\, aligning with the cyclic nature of bird migration in different hemispheres. \nThe campaign is a joint effort of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)\, the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA)\, Environment for the Americas and the EAAFP. The addition of the EAAFP to this Partnership will strengthen engagement and awareness for migratory birds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. \n \n \nContact us at info@environmentamericas.org with any questions.
