This tree was photographed on the ocean-side coast of the Sachuset Point, site of Sachuset National Wildlife Refuge, near Annapolis, RI. The first people to occupy Sachuest Point were the ancestors of the Narragansett and Wampanoag Tribes more than 10,000 years ago. Colonizers from the mid 1600’s-1939 used Sachuest Point primarily for dairy farming and sheep grazing.
