Save the Bay Clean-up at RWP

Monday, October 13 (Indigenous People’s Day), 10 AM-12 PM
Softball Fields at Roger Williams Park

We are partnering with Save the Bay for monthly clean ups in Roger Williams Park to help keep RWP looking its best! Register with Save the Bay HERE. If all spots are full, reach out to us and we will try to accommodate more people. Email [email protected]

WHAT: Join the International Coastal Cleanup with Save The Bay! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. We will divide into small teams to pick up trash and record what we find. The data will be included in the Ocean Conservancy’s annual report on marine debris.

WHERE: The softball fields at Roger Williams Park, F C Greene Memorial Blvd, Providence, RI 02905. This is a large park with one-way loops and several entrances – use this link to navigate to the exact spotPlease carpool or use alternative transportation if possible!

It’s not every board meeting that you get to meet a tamandua! 😍

This curious critter made an appearance at the RWPC Board Meeting this morning at the @rwpzoo Education Center. Huge thank you to Amy Roberts, Andrea Stein, Anthony Polite, and Kim Warren from the Zoo team for letting us meet Oblio and sharing so many interesting facts about the tamandua (a type of anteater!). Oblio brought many professional insights to the meeting, too 🐜

Visit the Zoo to learn more about tamanduas and other amazing animals!

Winter walks 🍂> January blues 🥶 Take a walk with us at Roger Williams Park! We visited the trail along Elm Lake near the softball field – a short, easy trail with stunning frosty lake views (especially during golden hour) and woodsy path. Shout-out to @pvdparks for maintaining the many beautiful trails at the Park! 

Before hitting the trail, please note that the only way to access this path is via the Park Avenue entrance while Maple Avenue and Pine Hill Avenue are currently closed. Find parking along Frederick C. Green Memorial Blvd. right when you turn into the park!
Join @rwpmuseum for a Winter Bird Walk Saturday morning at 10 AM! See wintering waterfowl and many more feathered friends during this guided walk. Tickets are $3 (register online). 🦆

Can’t make it tomorrow? Winter Bird Walks also take place February 14 and March 14!
