SUMMARY:Guided Bird Count for World Migratory Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with the Westerly Land Trust and expert ornithologists by getting out there and experiencing the spring migration. Observe the neo-tropical migrants as they return to their summer territories — from thrushes to warblers\, bluebirds to tanagers and beyond. \nDon’t forget to bring your binoculars! Meet us at Barlow Nature Preserve. Groups will head out to different WLT properties and gather back at Barlow to share our counts\, stories and coffee + snacks. \nRegister Here! \nThis event is free for WLT members\, $10 for non-members. Become a WLT member here.  \nEmail mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org with any questions. \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.worldmigratorybirdday.org/about). \nLight Pollution and Migratory Birds \nArtificial light is increasing globally by at least 2 per cent per year and it is known to adversely affect many bird species. Light pollution is a significant threat to migratory birds\, causing disorientation when they fly at night\, leading to collisions with buildings\, perturbing their internal clocks\, or interfering with their ability to undertake long-distance migrations. \nSolutions to light pollution are readily available. For instance\, more and more cities in the world are taking measures to dim building lights during migration phases in spring and autumn. Best practice guidelines are also being developed under the Convention on Migratory Species to address this growing issue and ensure that action is taken globally to help birds migrate safely (Bonn\, 9 December 2021. worldmigratorybirdday.org). \nHow you can help \n\nAudubon Lights Out Program\nInternational Dark Sky Association\nCornell Ornithology Lab — BirdCast Lights Out

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing- Dr. Deirdre O’Connor
DESCRIPTION:Slow down\, awaken your senses and connect with Nature as you luxuriate in a Forest Bath! \nJoin Dr. Deirdre O’Connor for a slow and easy walk in Wahaneeta Preserve. \nForest Bathing is the pleasant practice of spending time in nature for the purpose of enhancing health and happiness.  Evidenced 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. \nTo sign up for this event please email: lbarber@westerlylandtrust.org with the following information: \n\nEmail subject: Forest Bathing\nInclude: All attendee’s names and cell phone numbers\n\nThis experience is brought to you by Dr. Deirdre O’Connor. Each walk is $30 per person which Deirdre has generously pledged to donate to the Westerly Land Trust. \nDr. Deirdre O’Connor is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. She practiced Naturopathic Medicine in Mystic\, CT for over three decades where she was the founder and former Clinical Director of Natura Medica – The Center for Natural Medicine. Deirdre is delighted to continue 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. \n**Please note: Spots are limited. If you sign up and can no longer participate\, please let us know so that we can open this experience to others on our waitlist.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Mini BioBlitz
DESCRIPTION:Calling all curious humans! Let’s celebrate Earth Day together by getting out there and finding all the life that surrounds us\, both small and large. A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding 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 at Barlow Nature Preserve.  \n \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 will be from 4pm to 8pm\, but participants can arrive or leave any time they would like to. \nThere will be snack and refreshments and a whole bunch of adventure! \nThere are some great tools out there besides field guides and experts that can help you identify all kinds of different species of plants and animals out there. Be sure to download apps like iNaturalist or Seek from the App Store. Play around with them and be sure to show up with a full battery when you join us! \nRegister Here! \nAny questions?
