Fall Orange Requirements

Fall is a great time of year for a walk in the woods. It is also the start of hunting season. Please review these guidelines to ensure a safe fall for all!

  • All hikers, bikers, horseback riders, etc. are required to wear 200 square inches (500 square inches during shotgun deer season) of solid daylight fluorescent orange above the waist and visible in all directions.
  • Ex: A hat covers 200 square inches. A combination of hat and vest should cover 500 square inches.
  • This requirement runs from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and the third Saturday in April to the last day in May.
  • If you are unsure if a property allows hunting, it is always best to err on the side of caution and wear orange anyway. And don’t forget to “orange” your dogs, too!
  • For more clarification, watch this short video produced by RI Department of Environmental Management.

Westerly Land Trust Beanies

If your wardrobe is lacking daylight fluorescent orange, consider a Westerly Land Trust beanie–perfect for staying visible on the trails, keeping your ears warm, and signaling your support for local land conservation! Order yours here or swing by our office at Barlow Nature Preserve (449 Westerly-Bradford Road).

Forgot Your Orange?

If you visit Grills Preserve but have forgotten your orange, fear not! Thanks to a partnership with the Wood-Pawcatuck Wild and Scenic Rivers Stewardship Council, we have added an “orange vest library” in the Grills Preserve parking lot. Simply don a vest for your hike, and return it when you’re finished, so the next person can enjoy.
