Bird Walk at Cumberland Land Trust: High Rock Farm
Cumberland
Join us at this Cumberland Land Trust property for a 2-hour exploration. The preserve has a variety of habitats: woods, field with brushy margins, power line. We expect to find a variety of warblers, vireos, sparrows, flycatchers, and orioles and, we hope, some surprises.
Conditions: The trails are somewhat rocky, with a small climb up the power line, but nothing very strenuous. Heavy rain cancels walk.
Directions: High Rock Farm is located on Scott Road in Cumberland. From I-295 exit 20 (Rt. 122) go south a short distance, just past Rt. 116, and turn left on Scott Rd. Look for the Cumberland Land Trust Outdoor Environmental Education Center (OEEC), which is adjacent to High Rock Farm. The OEEC is at the overhead crossing power lines, approximately 1/4 mile North of the I-295 overpass on Scott Rd. (click here for google maps directions) There is a parking area for several cars at the OEEC. There is also parking along the west side of the road.

Arcadia Management Area with the Paskamansett Bird Club
Richmond, Hopkinton, Exeter & West Greenwich
At 14,000 acres Arcadia Management Area is Rhode Island’s largest recreational area and holds a wide variety of habitats and a huge list of breeding species. Join our neighbors from the Paskamansett Bird Club as we carpool along the various Arcadia access roads through 4 towns and two counties in search of migrating warblers, vireos, and flycatchers. We will make stops to explore some "off the beaten path" trails along the way as well so make sure to bring your shoes for hiking on uneven terrain.
Other Considerations: Participant's must wear a florescent orange safety vest as per the RI DEM requirements during the spring Turkey hunting season.
Meeting location: Lower Roaring Brook parking area across the street from Browning Mill Pond (Click here for google maps directions)
