Join One Tree Planted, Roger Williams Park Conservancy and the Providence Parks Department, for a fun morning of volunteering to celebrate Earth Month!

Volunteers will help move trees into place, will prepare the root balls, will place trees in pre-dug holes, fill in the holes with excess dirt, and spread native wood chip mulch. The City Forester will instruct the group on techniques for proper tree planting. We will provide shovels, gloves, water, snacks, and smiles. Please remember to:

Wear

  • Sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots with good traction.
  • Long pants and long-sleeved shirts to protect your skin from scratches and insect bites.
  • Layers of clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
  • A hat or cap to protect your head and face from the sun.

Bring

  • A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
  • Sunscreen and bug spray
  • Snacks if you’re a snack-y person
  • A positive attitude

 

If you registered for the event and have to cancel, please get in touch with [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you there!

Details

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.
