We are teaming up with our friends from <a href="https://wildrootsplay.org/wildroots-play" title="https://wildrootsplay.org/wildroots-play" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WildRoots</a> once a month for Wednesday Wonder Walks, a guided family hiking series curated to spark curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of nature. Our partnership blends playful discovery with embedded teaching, helping children build knowledge naturally as they explore. By connecting families to the land and encouraging stewardship, we hope to inspire the next generation to care for—and protect—the wild places around them.Each session invites children and their families to slow down, look closely, and discover the magic of the natural world together. Every month features a new theme and a new Westerly Land Trust property, giving young explorers the chance to get to know their local environment in a meaningful and memorable way.March's theme is Sprout Scouts and will be held at <a href="https://westerlylandtrust.org/portfolio/barlow-nature-preserve/" title="https://westerlylandtrust.org/portfolio/barlow-nature-preserve/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Barlow Nature Preserve</a>. We will head out on a wonder walk to search for early signs of life waking beneath the cold New England landscape. Along our walk we invite you to look closely for swelling buds, stubborn green shoots pushing through the soil, moss on rocks, and tiny seedlings glowing in sunny patches. With careful observation and curious minds, we will discover how plants prepare for spring long before the weather warms. After exploring, we will sow seeds to give new life a gentle head start for the seasons to come.<ul><li>Programs are NO COST thanks to generous community support</li><li>Registration is required for all participants</li><li>An adult must accompany their child/children during program.
