Volunteers will help move trees into place, will prepare the root balls, will place trees in pre-dug holes, fill in the holes with excess dirt, and spread native wood chip mulch. The City Forester will instruct the group on techniques for proper tree planting. We will provide shovels, gloves, water, snacks, and smiles. Please remember to:

  • Long pants and long-sleeved shirts to protect your skin from scratches and insect bites.
  • Layers of clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
  • A hat or cap to protect your head and face from the sun.

Bring

  • A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
  • Sunscreen and bug spray
  • Snacks if you’re a snack-y person
  • A positive attitude

We're so excited to welcome Julie Gearan back for another Slow Looking in Color and Line workshop at Roger Williams Park! This time, we're gathering at the Rose Garden (near the Elmwood Ave. entrance, and across the street from the Betsey Williams Cottage) on Sunday, October 18, 12-2 PM.

Just bring yourself, your creative spirit, and a chair (if you'd like) to this free drawing workshop. All experience levels welcome, and supplies are provided!

Thank you to @risca1967 for helping make this event possible!
Whether you're a mom, or appreciate a mom in your life, we want to see you at a film screening of No Country for Mothers on October 22 at 6 PM!

Roger Williams Park Conservancy is hosting a screening of this impactful documentary created by @momsfirstus about what motherhood looks like in America today, at the @rwpbotanicalcenter. 

Joining us for the screening and a Q&A panel after the film are representatives from local organizations @collectiveactionri, @rikidscount, and @unitedwayri. This open dialogue and opportunity for resource-sharing is designed to embody the film's premise: that motherhood in America is not a private struggle but a collective one. 

This event is free and open to the public! Learn more and RSVP online (link in bio): https://www.rwpconservancy.org/event/film-screening-of-no-country-for-mothers/
