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.
