SUMMARY:RIWPS: First Thursday Botanizing Walk
DESCRIPTION:WLT is honored to have been invited to lead a Rhode Island Wild Plant Society (RIWPS) First Thursday Botanizing Walk on September 4.\n\nJoin WLT’s Land Stewardship Manager Marc Doherty as he leads a slow walk around the coastal grasslands\, shrublands\, and salt marsh at WLT’s founding property\, Avondale Farm Preserve. Avondale Farm is a mixed-use site\, where restored native grassland sits alongside a certified-organic hayfield. The walk will begin around the grassland areas\, work its way through some shrubland\, and finish in the salt marsh at the top of Colonel Willie Cove. Marc will share information on plant identification\, some of their uses and ecological roles\, and discuss how WLT manages these ecosystems\, including their goals\, successes\, and challenges.\n\nDuring the grassland tour\, expect to see a mix of ecotypic and non-ecotypic species\, including wild senna\, Joe-Pye weed\, New England aster\, and New York ironweed\, and grasses like indiangrass\, big bluestem\, and eastern gamagrass. The group will then weave through a shrubland composed of winged sumac\, bayberry\, wild grape\, and numerous invasive shrubs\, leading to a salt marsh. A short venture out onto the marsh platform during low tide will reveal native and invasive salt marsh grasses and wildflowers such as salt marsh aster and sea lavender.\n\n\nCome share your enthusiasm and knowledge. Beginners to experts welcome!\nThis walk is free and open to the public.  Donations to help support Rhode Island Wild Plant Society walks are appreciated.  Donate Now to the RIWPS\nIf you would like to make a donation to the Westerly Land Trust\, click here!\nGeneral walk guidelines\nWear clothing and sturdy footwear appropriate for the weather conditions and for protection against sun exposure\, ticks and other insects\, briers\, tree root etc. Bring a sufficient supply of water and nourishment for your needs.\nDogs are not permitted.\nCancellations\nShould you need to cancel\, contact us as soon as possible. office@riwps.org \nWe walk light rain or shine.  In case of cancellations due to poor weather conditions\, we will email you.

SUMMARY:Weekend Stewardship Volunteer Day -- Invasive Plants at Avondale
DESCRIPTION:Avondale Farm Preserve is where it all began for the Westerly Land Trust — it is not only our first conserved property\, but a special place for wildlife and community. Once known as Lotteryville\, one of the earliest European settlements in Westerly\, Avondale is a place where coastal wildflower meadows\, hayfields\, shrublands and salt marsh meet the open mouth of Little Narragansett Bay. Its trails\, fields and shores provide a home for agriculture\, native biodiversity\, community and inspiration. \nPlant management in coastal grasslands like Avondale is essential\, as these “edge” habitats are prime locations for invasive plants to take over and outcompete native vegetation. WLT uses primarily mechanical efforts\, such as mowing\, lopping and pulling\, to keep invasive plants like porcelain berry and honeysuckle under control. Timing of these management efforts with the cycles of nature is key to their success. \nNative wildlfowers\, like this narrow-leaved mountain mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium)\, are often smothered and starved of sunlight by invasive plants. \nPorcelain berry (Ampelopsis brevipeduculata)\, a member of the grape family native to northern China and Japan\, was introduced to the United States in the 1870s. Its seeds are readily disbursed by mammals and birds. \nSo\, on Sunday\, August 4th from 8am to 10am\, the WLT stewardship team needs your help! Join WLT’s Land Stewardship Manager in the meadows of Avondale Farm Preserve (Quail Run entrance) as we work to pull and control invasive plants before they go to seed. We will manually pull or lop invasive plants\, remove the vegetation and romp through the blooming meadows. \nPart work day\, part plant ID walk\, this Weekend Volunteer Stewardship Day will hopefully leave you feeling both accomplished and better informed! \nIf you are interested in available\, we’d love your help! To sign-up please fill out the form below. \nFor more information\, please email Marc at mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org. \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Attendee’s PhoneHow Many in Your Party? *12345Additional Attendee First and Last Names *LIABILITY WAIVER *I agree to the additional terms.In consideration of receiving permission to participate in (educational) (volunteer) (recreational) opportunities of the Westerly Land Trust (WLT)\, I (legal guardian if a minor): \n1.
