A sincere thank you from the LCNK to the Scouts and Leaders of Troop 152 North Kingstown, RI for moving scores of rocks that had fallen into the Wickford Causeway back up under the Mill Cove Bridge to help with erosion control. They were taken on a short nature walk afterwards to learn about Wickford History. Thank you — “Do a Good Turn Daily” and You all totally “Rock!” 🦅⚜️

Reminder: Annual Meeting, Tuesday April 7, 6-7:30 pm at the NK Library!

After a short business meeting, Deana Tempest Thomas of the RI Mycological Society will speak about RI Mushrooms:

Deana Tempest Thomas is a biology and history student at Eastern Connecticut State University and a recent graduate of the Master Naturalist Program. She founded the Rhode Island Mycological Society to help people connect more deeply with the natural world through fungi, guided walks, and field-based learning. Her work blends education, curiosity, and conservation, and in 2024 she was honored with the Rhode Island Forest Conservators Organization’s Friend of the Forest Award. She lives in North Scituate with her family, where she grows shiitake mushrooms, vegetables, and more at Bide-A-While Farm & Forest.

A Fungus Among Us

It is always a good time to look for mushrooms. In this talk, Deana Tempest Thomas will introduce us to the kingdom of fungi through a photographic tour of Rhode Island’s mushrooms and explore how fungi can help us better understand the places we care about. From seasonal change to community science, the talk will consider why fungi deserve a place in conservation conversations and how land trusts can help people connect more deeply with the land through curiosity, observation, and participation.
