Skulls from Near and Far at the RWP Museum


Sunday, January 26, 11:00am-12:00pm
Monday, January 27, 11:00am-12:00pm

Have you ever come across an animal skull in the woods and wondered what it was? Would you like to learn more about the anatomy of animal skulls and how to identify them? Then come to the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium for our program “Skulls from Near and Far”. We will begin with an overview of the skulls one is most likely to encounter in our area, followed by a chance to see dozens of specimens from around the world which are not normally on public display.

This program is being offered twice, it is not a two-part program 

Program Fee per Session: $3 per person, includes museum admission. FREE for museum membersThis is not a drop off program.

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)!
Our next episode of Swan Stories features Roz Raskin of the dreamy Providence-based band @novaone_! Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more! 

Subscribe to RWPC’s email newsletter to get the full interview in your inbox tomorrow (and more park highlights!), or to our YouTube channel – follow the links in our bio!

Thank you to @rwpboathousecafe for setting us up with a boat to film on the lake! 🦢
