Stormwater Innovation Center Public Tour

Tuesday, August 4, 1-2:30 PM
Seal House, Roosevelt Lake

Join Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s Stormwater Innovation Center for a guided walking tour of Roger Williams Park and discover how innovative stormwater management practices are helping improve water quality, reduce flooding, support wildlife habitat, and create healthier communities.

During this easy walk around Roosevelt Lake, participants will visit green infrastructure installations, learn about local water quality challenges and solutions, and hear about ongoing research and volunteer opportunities.

What to expect:
• Estimated 45 minute guided walk (approximately 0.75 miles)
• Learn about stormwater, urban ponds, and watershed health
• Meet SIC staff and volunteers
• Refreshments and informal Q&A

No science background is needed. Whether you’re a community member, educator, conservation volunteer, or simply curious about the environment, this tour offers a fun and engaging way to experience the park while learning about local water resources.

Free and open to the public. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and plan for approximately one hour of being outdoors. We will meet at the seal house.
