Great Backyard Bird Count

February 14-16, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Roger Williams Park Zoo

Join us inside the Big Backyard building and learn cool facts, spy on feathered friends, and get crafty with fun activities. Drop in between 10:30 am – 1:30 pm, for hands-on activities and conservation-themed make and take crafts! The Great Backyard Bird Count takes place across the country, and helps avian researchers gather information to better protect wild birds for the future! This program is FREE with Zoo admission or your Zoo membership.

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
