at Roger Williams Park

Saturday, April 27, 2019

Join the Roger Williams Park Conservancy and the City of Providence for an Earth Day clean up to kick off Providence’s Annual Earth Day Spring Cleaning!

When: Registration from 8:30-9:00 AM; clean up from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM

Where: Dalrymple Boathouse at Roger Williams Park, 1000 Elmwood Avenue in Providence (see park map)

What you’ll do: Volunteers will clean up trash and debris that have accumulated on Park trails and water ways. *This event will take place rain or shine.*

What to wear: Comfortable work clothes and sneakers/boots that can get dirty.

What to bring: Gloves, sun and bug protection, and a reusable water bottle. Trash bags, tools and additional gloves will be provided. Snacks and water refills will be available (no bottled water will be provided).

What else is happening from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM:
Free and open to all, not just clean up volunteers!

  • Plastic bag exchange: Bring 5 or more single-use plastic bags and receive a free reusable bag from Zero Waste Providence.
  • Denim recycling bin: Have jeans that are too worn out to wear or donate? Madewell will be on site to collect denim for the Blue Jeans Go Green™ program, which turns them into housing insulation for organizations like Habitat for Humanity and keeps textile waste out of the landfill.

Venue

Thank you to @ocean_state_ellary for hosting Monday evening gentle yoga sessions these past couple of months, and to everyone who joined us on the lawn outside the Betsey Williams Cottage! As the evenings get cooler, we're ending the season a little early, so we won't be gathering next Monday, September 21. Enjoy the start of autumn! 🍂
Join us this Friday at 10 AM for a Save the Bay cleanup at Roger Williams Park! September means it's International Coastal Cleanup season – you'll be among thousands of participants worldwide collecting and documenting what you pick up to contribute important data on marine (including watershed) debris, while helping beautify your favorite park!

Sign up (link in bio) to be part of the cleanup at the softball fields on September 18!
