🦞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. 🌳

⏰It’s almost time for 401Gives, Rhode Island’s Statewide Day of Giving, celebrated every year on 4/01 in honor of the Ocean State’s area code. This year, the online fundraiser will run for two full days:

🌳MONDAY, April 1 beginning at 6am through TUESDAY, April 2 ending at 6pm.🌳

‼️On 4/01 if you’d like to join the 401Gives fun and support the Westerly Land Trust’s conservation efforts, local small scale agriculture and environmental education programs, please follow the link in our bio or visit
401gives.org/organizations/westerly-land-trust.‼️

Powered by United Way of Rhode Island, this is the 5th consecutive 401Gives and the Westerly Land Trust’s 5th time participating. We registered for our first at the end of 2019, and boy, were we glad we did when April 1, 2020 rolled around and our traditional fundraising plans faced an uncertain future. Our amazing supporters rallied to raise $10,000 for WLT in just one day, signaling people’s need for connection with nature during a tumultuous time. 401Gives has held a soft spot in our hearts ever since. But it’s more than just what this event does for WLT. All across the state on this day, people are showing up to support the causes that they appreciate most!

Thank you in advance for your generosity.💚🌳

🌳🐿️📖 In partnership with the @westerlylibraryandwilcoxpark, and as part of the Westerly Land Trust’s celebration of Earth Day, we invite you to join our Walden Book Club. In Henry David Thoreau’s short life, he was a poet, philosopher, naturalist, farmer, writer, hiker, surveyor, abolitionist, Transcendentalist, friend, and more. Whether Thoreau has been a source of inspiration for you for years, or you’re interested in reading Walden for the first time, we hope you’ll join us at the Wahaneeta cabin on Wednesday, April 24th at 10am for a discussion of the book followed by a hike through the woods, Thoreau style.

We’re sharing this event now to give you ample time to read the book. If you don’t have a copy of Walden, head to Westerly Library and Wilcox Park to pick one up (2nd floor, Reference Department). They have generously donated a number of copies for program participants.

This event is free, but registration is required and spots are limited. Please follow the link in our bio> Calendar of Events to sign up!
