Location: Westerly

The Watch Hill Conservancy invites you to join syndicated columnist, Bruce Fellman, for a Migration Walk on Napatree as part of their celebration of Land Trust Days.
They’ll take a family-friendly walk along the beach in search of long-distance travelers. They hope to see Monarchs fueling on Seaside Goldenrod, Tree Swallows to Hawks, and such migrators as Common Green Darners, Black and Carolina Saddlebags, and Spot-winged and Wandering Gliders—the latter of which can cross entire oceans—resting on the sand and the plants before riding the wind out of our region. Bring your curiosity and cameras as we document the migration.

Bruce Fellman, a semi-retired magazine editor for Yale, has a long history of leading popular natural history walks for schools and conservation organizations throughout Southern New England.
