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)

We're so excited to welcome Julie Gearan back for another Slow Looking in Color and Line workshop at Roger Williams Park! This time, we're gathering at the Rose Garden (near the Elmwood Ave. entrance, and across the street from the Betsey Williams Cottage) on Sunday, October 18, 12-2 PM.

Just bring yourself, your creative spirit, and a chair (if you'd like) to this free drawing workshop. All experience levels welcome, and supplies are provided!

Thank you to @risca1967 for helping make this event possible!
Whether you're a mom, or appreciate a mom in your life, we want to see you at a film screening of No Country for Mothers on October 22 at 6 PM!

Roger Williams Park Conservancy is hosting a screening of this impactful documentary created by @momsfirstus about what motherhood looks like in America today, at the @rwpbotanicalcenter. 

Joining us for the screening and a Q&A panel after the film are representatives from local organizations @collectiveactionri, @rikidscount, and @unitedwayri. This open dialogue and opportunity for resource-sharing is designed to embody the film's premise: that motherhood in America is not a private struggle but a collective one. 

This event is free and open to the public! Learn more and RSVP online (link in bio): https://www.rwpconservancy.org/event/film-screening-of-no-country-for-mothers/
