City Nature Challenge Presentation: Bringing the World Together for Biodiversity

Thursday, April 23, 12:30-1:30 PM
RWP Museum of Natural History and Planetarium

Join Malia Cafasso, TerraCorps Community Engagement Coordinator at Audubon Society of Rhode Island and Stormwater Innovation Center, to learn about how to use iNaturalist and how to participate in the City Nature Challenge. The City Nature Challenge (April 24–27), is an annual international event to collaboratively record as many wildlife observations as possible during a four-day challenge. People from all over the world explore nature in their neighborhoods and cities to find and document wildlife. 2026 marks Rhode Island’s 5th year participating, and needs community members like you to help record as many species as we can. iNaturalist, a free smartphone app, allows anyone to photograph and identify plants and animals while contributing to real scientific research. Scientists and conservation organizations use this community-collected data to monitor biodiversity and track environmental change. Come learn how your iNaturalist observations can make a difference in Rhode Island’s City Nature Challenge 2026!
Cost: Free (attendees receive Free Museum Admission on April 23)

Thank you, RWP family!!! We may not have reached our goal, but all of you got us to over $7,000 – more than twice as much as last year! 🌳🎉

Whether you donated, shared our page with friends, liked our posts, or sent good vibes our way, we appreciate your support and investment in the People's Park! A gift to Roger Williams Park Conservancy builds and strengthens social and civic connections in a public green space we all share and steward. 

With @pvdparks and our Park partners, we can't wait to show you another year of programming, community-building, and fun! 🌞

If you donated $100 or more, watch your email over the next week for an invite to a party celebrating you at the @rwpboathousecafe! 🥂
We’re 58% of the way to our $10,000 goal! 🥳 Join us for the home stretch of #401Gives?

⏰ Set an alarm for 4:01 PM today! If you donate at exactly that time, your gift will go even further thanks to a generous match by @rifoundation!

To everyone who has donated, thank you!! We can’t wait to celebrate with you during free concerts, movies, and more this summmer! ☀️
