SUMMARY:Crandall Family Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Take a short hike out to Wolf Island at the Crandall Family Preserve. This shorter hike leads to a small bit of upland in the sea of wetland that is the Crandall swamp. Rhododendron tunnels lead to an oak-holly forest. We will then walk out along the old Pound Road to a swamp overlook where we might witness some migrating songbirds. Total distance approximately two miles. Meet at gated parking lot about 150 yards before the end of Pound Road.   \nLeader: Marc Doherty Phone: 508 308-9787 Email: mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org  \nClick HERE to view the full Thursday Hike schedule. \nJoin the Thursday Hikers for free guided trail hikes on Thursday mornings. These hikes begin at 10:00 AM unless otherwise stated and leave promptly\, so please arrive on time. This group will visit various local conservation properties\, including some Westerly Land Trust (WLT) preserves. If you would like to lead a hike for the next series\, please provide Sally with a date and a blurb. \nImportant Notes \n\nDistance/ Target Group: Walks are 1 ½ to 3 hours and are open to all ages with the target group being agile seniors.\nEstimated Times: Ending times are estimated as it is difficult to ascertain when it will finish due to number of people\, how fast/slow the hikers walk\, etc. Hikes leave promptly.\nInclement weather: Inclement weather cancels and if in doubt\, contact the leader.\nDogs: If you wish to bring a dog\, contact the leader as some properties do not allow them. If a dog is present\, they must be leashed at all times.\nTrail Safety: These are wooded trails with stumps\, roots and rocks so be sure to wear hiking boots or good walking shoes. Make sure you bring water and a snack if you want one.\nThursday hike/WLT events: CLICK HERE to sign up for WLT’s email list and receive a monthly email including Thursday hike schedule and other WLT events/programs.\n\nFluorescent Orange Requirements \nIn State Management areas everyone is required to wear 200 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and the last Thursday in April to the last day in May\, annually.

SUMMARY:Wonder Walk at Crandall Family Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Walk\, wonder\, and grow with us!\nJoin WildRoots and the Westerly Land Trust once a month for Wonder Walks\, a guided family hiking series designed to spark curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of nature. All walks are offered at no cost to you and your family. \nThrough shared exploration and hands-on discovery\, families will connect with Westerly Land Trust’s beautiful natural spaces while building a deeper appreciation for the plants\, animals\, and ecosystems that make each property unique. By fostering curiosity and encouraging stewardship\, we hope to inspire the next generation to care for—and protect—the wild places around them. \nEach session invites children and their families to slow down\, look closely\, and discover the wonder of the natural world together. We begin every program with a thoughtfully selected nature story before heading out on the trails to explore. Children are invited to use tools like bug vacuums\, waders\, magnifying glasses\, and digital microscopes to get a closer look at nature and investigate what sparks their curiosity. Westerly Land Trust and WildRoots guides will lead each adventure\, creating opportunities for exploration while supporting discovery and inquiry. \n\nRegistration is required for all participants\nAn adult must accompany their child/children during program. This is a great way to adventure together!\nLocation/ Parking: Crandall Family Preserve has a parking lot we will open for this progam. You can find it on the left-hand side of Pound Rd. This location is extra special for it is only accessible with WLT guides present due to the nature of the environment.\nRestrooms are not available at this site.\n\nClick HERE to sign up!\nAbout the Hosts \nWildRoots Play is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a community where children and families can nurture connection\, holistic development\, and Earth stewardship through immersive experiences in nature and play. \nThe Westerly Land Trust (WLT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to conserving open space\, revitalizing neighborhoods\, and building community in Westerly\, Rhode Island.
