SUMMARY:Forest Bathing
DESCRIPTION:Join Deirdre O’Connor for a slow and easy walk in Wahaneeta Preserve. Forest 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. \n\nRegistration is required. Spots are limited.\n\n\nEach walk is $30 per person which Deirdre has generously pledged to donate to WLT.\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. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT.

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!
