It’s hunting season in Rhode Island which means fluorescent orange isn’t just a style choice, it’s the law. 🦺✴️

Here’s what you need to know:
🔸Anyone in a state management area, privately conserved area, or undeveloped state park that allows hunting must wear at least 200 sq inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange that’s visible from all sides
🔸During shotgun deer season (starting in December), that requirement increases to 500 sq inches - for everyone not just hunters!
🔸This requirement runs from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and again from the third Saturday in April to the last day of May. 
🔸If you’re not sure if you have to wear orange, always choose to wear it for safety. Stay visible, stay safe. 

Thanks to @rhodeisland.dem for the video inspiration- check out their website for official orange requirements, hunting safety tips, and seasonal details. www.dem.ri.gov/orange🦌🧡

Need some orange? Support WLT’s conservation efforts through the purchase of a fluorescent orange WLT beanie! Follow the link in our bio to get one. 🌳

Thinking back on a beautiful night at the return of Farm Dinner at Barlow Nature Preserve. 💐🥗

✨The evening was full of connection - through food, conversation, and the land around us. 

Grateful to everyone who helped make it happen, and to Paul Bloomfield of @metalcamera.events for capturing the essence of Farm Dinner so perfectly. 💚🌳
