🌎 Our Earth Day celebrations continued today with our 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 Book Club, in partnership with @westerlylibraryandwilcoxpark. We gathered ‘round the fire in Wahaneeta Preserve’s cozy cabin and discussed Henry David Thoreau’s life and works, specifically his book 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯. Then we took a peaceful hike through the woods with Thoreau’s words fresh in our heads. Consider his line: “It would be worth the while if in each town there were a committee appointed to see that the beauty of the town received no detriment.” We at the Westerly Land Trust are proud to play a role preserving Westerly’s charm and character by protecting open spaces for the enduring benefit of our community.

🦞Just one of the many critters students found while
dipping-netting in the pond at Wahaneeta Preserve.🦞
Crayfish are found in fresh water in many places around the world. They have a hard and protective exoskeleton that sheds as they grow. A single tail flip can propel them through the water when they feel threatened, perfectly demonstrated by our little friend in the video.
🐝🥕There are still spots open for our next two Living Laboratories sessions- Interesting Insects and Farming with Friends. 🍅Our Farm Squad 4-week FREE summer program is still open as well. If the session you’re interested in is full, please join our waitlist! Select “Youth Education” in the link in our bio to register. 🌳

Did you know skunk cabbage is one of the first plants to emerge in the spring?🦨🌱
Even if all the ☔️ we had this winter was snow, you could still see their dark purple leaf, known as the spathe, poking up through the surface. This is part of the flower that blooms before the bright green cabbage-like foliage unfolds. 🌡️The process of cyanide-resistant cellular respiration allows this unique plant to produce heat at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, melting any snow or ice surrounding it.
If you step on skunk cabbage or it becomes injured in any way, the stench will most likely turn your stomach. BUT! Flies, beetles, and other pollinators are attracted to the skunk-like odor and help the plant reproduce. 🦟🪳🐝

💐We’ve made it to April— the start of the second quarter of the year. Spring is officially here as evidenced by the glorious daffodils and budding forsythia.
April is a funny month— the days are longer and the flowers are blooming, but here in New England that wind sure is brisk. Don’t put away those winter coats just yet! ❄️
🌳Nevertheless, we at the Westerly Land Trust look forward to getting outdoors and taking in all the sights and sounds of the changing season. We hope to see you there.
