We are delighted that Greg Gerritt, noted urban naturalist, environmental advocate, and wildlife videographer, will return to Blackstone Park to lead three morning walks along the Seekonk shoreline between May and September. The dates are May 10, June 6 and September 12. Greg will discuss urban wildlife, the making of wildlife videos, and the ecological challenges in the area.
As Greg notes, the tidewater and forest at Blackstone Park are a dynamic ecosystem strongly affected by the seasons. By September breeding season is over. Some of the migratory birds have flown the coop, heading for South America and other tropical places, while others take advantage of the still warm temperatures to fatten up before winter. September often sees the biggest schools of fish in the upper bay, and the flocks of water birds and shoreline hunters can be abundant.
But every day is different in nature, the rhymes and rhythms are not quite something we understand, and the only way to know is to get out there and see what is going on.
Come for a walk, beginning at the Blackstone Park kiosk on Parkside Road proceeding through the park, along the Seekonk shore and returning to the kiosk.
