SUMMARY:First ( well.... Second )Thursday Botanizing Walk - Succotash Marsh State Management Area
DESCRIPTION:Join Beth Dickson from 10am to noon on Thursday\, 10 October 2024 for a leisurely walk within the Succotash Marsh State Management Area in South Kingstown\, RI. The 182-acre management area is located between Potter Pond and Point Judith Pond near the village of Jerusalem. The tide reaches the salt marsh system though a connection via the Point Judith breachway. The margins of the salt marsh receive different levels of tidal fluctuations\, creating zones of vegetation types. \n(Hudsonia tomentosa (sand false heather\, woolly beach-heather)\, photo DMcGrady) \nWe will see that the dominant species is Spartina alterniflora (salt marsh cordgrass) at the lower\, more regularly flooded areas of the marsh. At higher more irregularly flooded areas\, Distichlis spicata (saltgrass) and Spartina patens (saltmeadow cordgrass) predominate. On slightly higher areas\, salt scrub vegetation survives\, which includes Baccharis halimifolia (groundsel-tree) and Iva frutescens (maritime marsh-elder). Other plants we will see are Solidago sempervirens (seaside goldenrod)\, Symphytotrichum tenuifolium (saltmarsh aster)\, Hudsonia tomentosa (sand false heather)\, Limonium carolinianum (sea-lavender)\, and Ammophila breviligulata (American beach grass). \nBe prepared to get your feet wet. There are no bathroom facilities. \nThis walk is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated.DONATE \nRegistration 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. \nThis walk is a part of our First Thursday Botanizing Walk Series which is free and open to the public. See our Botanizing Walks home page for important information about these walks.\nAs with all our walks\, sturdy footwear (for this walk – footwear for wet terrain)\, 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.

SUMMARY:First Thursday Botanizing Walk -  Sprague Farm Town Forest
DESCRIPTION:Acer pensylvanicum (goosefoot maple\, striped maple)\, photo DMcGrady \nNote: Details of this walk have been updated as of August 6 to reflect a change from the original planned route of the walk. \nOn 5 September 2024 from 10 am to 12 pm join Tysh McGrail\, long time RIWPS member\, landscape designer and lover of native plants\, at the Sprague Farm Town Forest\, a 1\,278+ acre Glocester Land Trust Property.

There is also a “rare for Rhode Island” stand of striped maple (aka Moosewood) to see. The understory includes stand upon stand of mountain laurel\, sweet pepper bush\, and huckleberry. The ground layer will reveal wild calla\, narrow leaf mountain mint\, royal fern\, and the American groundnut vine among many other Rhode Island Natives. Mosses\, lichen and mushrooms are everywhere as are signs of the pileated woodpecker. \nIf you have additional time for exploring after our walk Tysh recommends heading over to the Atlantic Cedar Swamp. \n\n\n\nThis walk is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Following the Seasons at the Haile Farm Preserve - Summer Walk
DESCRIPTION:Anne Raver’s three walks along the trails of the Haile Farm Preserve in Warren\, focus on how the landscape changes with the seasons.  We invite those who participated in the Spring Walk and new walkers to join Anne on August 14\, 2024 from 10 am to noon to explore the preserve in its summer attire. (The third walk will be scheduled in 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. \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.

We will be hiking slightly over a mile on a relatively easy trail\, ending at agricultural fields edged by many species of non-native invasive plants. \n\nThis walk is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:First Thursday Botanizing Walk - Taylor Point Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday October 5\, 2023\, from 10 am to noon\, come explore some of the Taylor Point Nature Preserve. It has a variety of natural communities within its 20 acres\, including maritime woodlands and shrub lands and 4000 feet of shoreline along the East Passage.  A multi-year plant inventory has produced a list of 143 species – 89 native and 54 non-native (26 of which are on the RI Invasive Plant Species List).\n\nLed by Taylor Point Restoration Association board member Dennis Webster\, we’ll first look at some plants growing on the beach\, then walk out to the rocky cliffs to visit the hardy plants that thrive there and to enjoy one of the best views of Narragansett Bay to be seen in the state.  Along the way we’ll see the current stages of the long-term restoration project. \nWe’ll walk less than a mile\, but will encounter some uneven footing on the rough trails and rocks.  Be sure to take tick precautions and appropriate clothing for cool\, windy weather. \nFor a preview of Taylor Point\, visit the Taylor Point Restoration Association’s website at TaylorPoint.org .  The “Plant Atlas” page\, still in development\, describes many of the plants growing there. \n\nSpace is limited. Register Below.  We will send directions and the meet up location to participants a few days before the walk. \nThis walk is a part of our First Thursday Botanizing Walk Series.

SUMMARY:First Thursday Botanizing Walk - Maxwell Mays Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Seaside goldenrod with common buckeye butterfly \nIn late summer the flora begins to change as asters and goldenrods bloom and seeds and fruits mature. Animals rely on many plants for food and shelter while many plants rely on animals for pollination and dispersal. At times the interactions get quite defensive. If you would like to sample the vast array of interactions in Rhode Island join us for an easy hike at Audubon’s Maxwell Mays Wildlife Refuge. In addition to our general botanizing along the way we will also examine plant-animal interactions. On established trails through fields and forests we will decipher how plants and animals struggle and cooperate in order to survive. \nDate/Place: September 7\, 2023 from 10 am to noon at the Maxwell Mays Wildlife Refuge\, Coventry\, RI \nLeader: Scott Ruhren\, Ph.D.\, Senior Director of Conservation\, Audubon Society of Rhode Island \nLevel of Effort: Easy to moderate trail hike \nSpace is limited. Register Below.  We will send directions and the meet up location to participants a few days before the walk. \nThis walk is a part of our First Thursday Botanizing Walk Series. See our Botanizing Walks home page for important details you should know about the walks in this series.
