Today, on National Wildlife Day, we at the Westerly Land Trust are celebrating all the critters, big and small, that live in our preservesโ coyotes, foxes, hawks, deer, rabbits, squirrels, salamanders, toads, beesโ the list goes on and on. When you help conserve open space here in Westerly, you are protecting the natural habitat for countless native animal species. This, in turn, ensures the balance and beautiful cycle of our shared ecosystem. ๐ณ๐๐ฆ๐ฟ๏ธ

For many, September means a return to routine. The beach traffic will thin out, replaced by big yellow busses. Similar to the start of the calendar year, it is a time to begin again. If, for you, this means reconnecting your mind, body, and spirit, then read on to learn more about all of WLTโs September Wellness in the Woods opportunities. If youโre looking for afterschool activities for your K-4th graders, weโve got that covered, too, in the form of Living Laboratories. Also this month, the Thursday Hiking Group will park their kayaks and lace up their boots again. And donโt forget to dig out and don your fluorescent orange beginning the second Saturday in September.
