SUMMARY:Basic Botanical Identifying Field Techniques: Trees\, Shrubs\, and Vines (Carter Preserve)
DESCRIPTION:On September 13\, 2025 from 10:00 am to noon\, join Nathan Lambstrom at the Carter Preserve in Charlestown. We will use commonly available field guides to hone our ability to identify unknown trees\, shrubs\, and vines. The walk will traverse several ecosystem types and offer a chance to see some familiar and unfamiliar plants in their wild habitats. We will review identification characteristics and taxonomic keys of woody plants specifically. Some field guides and hand lenses will be provided but please bring your own if you have them. \nNathan Lambstrom is a lecturer in the College of Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) at URI. A garden ecologist\, Nathan also runs his own business designing and planting gardens that support wildlife\, conserve water\, and enrich home environments. Nathan holds a MS in plant biology and conservation from Northwestern University.  \nThis walk is free and open to the public.  Donations to help support our walks are appreciated.  DONATE NOW \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. communications@riwps.org  \nWe walk light rain or shine.  In case of  cancellations due to poor weather conditions\, we will email you.
