SUMMARY:Following the Seasons at Haile Farm Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Anne Raver\, will lead three walks along the trails of the Haile Farm Preserve in Warren\, with an eye to how a landscape changes with the seasons.  Join us on May 14\, 2024 from 10 am to noon for the first of these walks. The subsequent walks will be scheduled in August and October. \nBecause 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. \nAnne has also written and published widely on topics related to gardening and plants.  She is a previous editor of RIWPS’ publication\, Wildflora RI. \n  \nAdditional information\nArticle from WildfloraRI written by Garry Plunkett on the Haile Farm Preserve\nWarren Conservation Land Trust’s website \nThis walk is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated. DONATE \nSpace is limited. Register Below.  We will email the meet up location and directions to those who register a few days before the walk using either office@riwps.org or communications@riwps.org.  (Be sure to check your spam/junk folder if you do not get this email.) \nCancellations. We always have more people who want to attend a walk than can be accommodated. If you find that you cannot attend\, notify office@riwps.org as soon as possible. \nAs with all our walks\, sturdy footwear\, clothing appropriate for the weather and for protection against sun exposure\, ticks and other insects\, briers\, tree root etc. as well as a sufficient supply of water and nourishment are essential. Dogs are not permitted.
