Self-Guided Plant and Nature Walks

On the Trail

Enjoy descriptions of a few of the wonderful places to walk in Rhode Island with a focus on the plant habitat and then immerse yourself in some of these places.  On the Trail is a feature series in our semiannual publication, WildfloraRI

Interested in writing such a description of a area you know or know of a place to walk that has descriptions that highlight the plants?
Contact wildflora@riwps.org for more information.

Our partner RI Land Trust Council is a great online resource for finding information places to walk.

In hunting season, you are required to wear 200 square inches (baseball cap) or 500 square inches (vest) of fluorescent orange on state land.  We highly recommend wearing bright fluorescent colors whenever you walk preserved lands in hunting season as many of these allow hunting as well. 

Do remember to wear 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.
