Join the Watch Hill Conservancy and Lead Naturalists Kevin Rogers and Laura Craver for a nature walk on beautiful Napatree Beach!
Featured in Yankee, RI Monthly and PBS, Napatree was the site of 39 homes prior to the 1938 Hurricane. Now this pristine barrier beach is a conservation area managed by The Watch Hill Conservancy and home to several endangered birds, plants and insects.
Bring water, sunscreen and comfortable shoes for walking on a beach. In the event of rain/bad weather, check the Facebook or Meetup event for updates.
