SUMMARY:First Thursday Botanizing Walk: Snake Den Farm (Johnston)
DESCRIPTION:Our first First Thursday walk of the season is April 2\, 2026\, from 10 am to noon. We will explore the Snake Den Farm parcel of Snake Den State Park with Chris Modisette\, a retired forester with more than 40 years of service with the National Resources Conservation Service. \nManaged by the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District\, Snake Den parcel reflects a historical progression from woodlot and pasture\, reversion to forest and most recently\, experimental fields to promote sustainable agriculture. The major tree species in the area are white pine\, yellow and black birch\, white and red oak\, red maple and big tooth aspen. \nWe 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. \nThis walk is free and open to the public. \nDonations 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 communications@riwps.org  \nWe walk light rain or shine.  In case of  cancellations due to poor weather conditions\, we will email you. We tend to wait until the day before the walk to make this call as weather forecasts can be changeable. \nRegistration is required \nThe number of participants is limited to maximize the ability for everyone to observe the plants and participate in the conversation.   \nNote: Only one person can register at a time. To register a second person\, just repeat the process. \nMore specific location of the walk is provided upon registration. \n  \n \n
