23 January, 2022

Description

We'll be able to visualize the proposed Linear Park at Canonchet Farm and take a guided trail walk to the South County Museum. This final 15th Anniversary-month trail walk celebrates Canonchet Farm! Meet up with Tom Hoagland, President of the Friends of Canonchet Farm, and Alan Woodmansee, Chair of the Trails Committee, at the Narragansett Town beach parking lot directly across from Anne Hoxsie Lane. From this vantage point, we’ll learn about the proposed Linear Park around Lake Canonchet. We’ll cross Ocean Rd. and proceed along the Nature Trail to the South County Museum. Tom and Alan will highlight the evidence of habitat restoration and invasives removal. We’ll see examples of the extensive restoration by Friends of Canonchet volunteers that have cleared historic stone walls, introduced native plantings, opened up views of the Narrow River, and removed thousands of invasive plants along the Nature Trail. We will return to our starting point via Anne Hoxsie Lane with views of the magnificent trees in the upper meadow. Participants will receive a copy of our 15-page illustrated guide to the most common invasive plants in South County. Don’t miss this fitting wind-up to our January Anniversary programs! No need to print out a ticket. Just register and come!
