Anne Raver’s series of three walks along the trails of the Haile Farm Preserve in Warren, focuses on how the landscape changes with the seasons.  We invite those who participated in the spring and/or summer walk along with new walkers to join Anne on October 15, 2024 from 10 am to noon to explore the preserve in its fall attire.

Because Anne walks this preserve of the Warren Land Trust a few times a week, she has become familiar with the cycles of particular trees, shrubs, ferns, grasses and herbaceous plants.  That familiarity extends to watching how the marsh has changed with rising sea level, more powerful tides and stronger winds. Though not a botanist, Anne learns more each time she returns to this varied 60-acre preserve which hugs the east side of the Palmer River. The trails traverse a hardwood forest with many fern species, as well as meadow and  salt marsh.

Anne has also written and published widely on topics related to gardening and plants.  She is a previous editor of RIWPS’ publication, Wildflora RI.
