Guided Walk at Beaver River Preserve

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, RI ASLA partnered with The Nature Conservancy for a Guided Walk at Beaver River Preserve in Richmond, RI.

Participants will meet at the Hillsdale trailhead and follow a gentle 1.5–2.0 mile loop through old pastures, oak woods, and a pine grove. Along the way, we’ll explore the Beaver River, a small beaver pond, and a newly emerging wet meadow formed after the unexpected breaching of an old dam in late 2023. This walk provides a living case study in dam removal transformations, and is ideal for professionals interested in restoration, resilience, and natural systems in action.
