Native Tree Walk at Mount Hope Farm

Join the Bristol Land Conservation Trust on Monday, June 1, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at Mount Hope Farm, 250 Metacom Ave., Bristol, RI, for a guided native tree walk with renowned arborist Matt “Twig” Largess, the “Voice of the Forest.”
A seasoned arborist, Matt travels the eastern seaboard in search of Champion Trees and Old Growth Forests. During this walk, participants will explore some of the remarkable trees at Mount Hope Farm, many of which are native to the United States.
Thanks to the efforts of the Mount Hope Farm staff, Matt Largess, and dedicated volunteers, Mount Hope Farm is now a designated arboretum. Along the way, participants will learn what makes a tree healthy, the important role trees play in nature, and the common threats they face. If you’re not already a tree lover, you may become one after this walk.
Please meet at the barn at 5:15 p.m. and wear comfortable walking shoes. Light refreshments will be served following the walk. Admission is $15 per person, with a maximum of $25 per family, payable at the door. BLCT members attend free. Become a member that evening and enjoy free admission to all our events. Parking is available in the main parking area below the barn. The rain date is Tuesday, June 2, same time. For questions, contact Ray Payson at 401-225-4903 or email BristolLandTrust@gmail.com.
