Barrington Public Library and Ocean State Bird Club have partnered to offer three spring bird walks in the East Bay from April through June. The second walk will be held at Mount Hope Farm in Bristol.
Mount Hope Farm provides woodland, field, pond, and coastal habitats. We will walk the trails in search of spring migrants and returning, as well as year-round residents. Led by Lauren Parmelee.
Bring binoculars and insect repellent and wear footwear appropriate for trail walking. Heavy rain cancels the walk. Easy and level walking. Children ages 7 and older are welcome.
