Greenway Wild Walks: Winter Wreaths

Celebrate winter by crafting natural wreaths while exploring the park’s winter flora and habitats. Join the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council (WRWC) and 15 Minute Field Trips for the final family-friendly guided walk along the Woonasquatucket River Greenway of the season! Explore the science of nature, craft, and play, while discovering the plants, animals, and habitats right in your community. Starting Point: Woonasquatucket River Greenway at 15 Goldsmith Street, Johnston, RI 02919 (The Manton Pond Site) This area includes the Native Plant Garden, the Manton Outdoor Classroom, the Manton Fishway, and examples of stormwater management and streambank restoration. WRWC transformed this area into a vibrant educational and recreational hub while restoring the Woonasquatucket River. Accessibility: The walks are open to all ages and move at an exploratory pace, usually covering about a mile. The Greenway is paved and wheelchair-accessible, though not plowed or salted in winter. No on-site restrooms or water; the nearest public restroom is at Cumberland Farms on Killingly Ave. Language: Primarily conducted in English. We love seeing your discoveries!
