DUE TO PREDICTED WEATHER, THIS EVENT IS CANCELED.
As we take our programming outdoors for teen option #2 this summer, Mobile Quest will be here, featuring a high flying adventure. Participants will complete 2 high-flying activities, including creating a high flying, gas-powered animal! Registration is restricted to 18 participants, and only for those entering grades 6-12. Covid precautions are in place, so teens will be spaced 6 feet apart and required to wear masks at this program. Registration reservations will begin on July 15th.
Happy Summer Teens! Join us for the first of our two outdoor events this summer, weather permitting. We will be having a tie-dye extravaganza! Held in the grass on the backside of the side parking lot under the trees, we will be happily sheltered from the sun while we make our creations. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, participants must bring their own items to dye (hoodies, t-shirts, masks, tote bags, whatever you can come up with!). Please limit 3 items per teen. Participants must also wear masks and stay 6 feet apart from each other. Registration is required and limited.
Join us for a virtual presentation on seed starting with URI Master Gardener William Baddeley. (Due to technical difficulties on March 23, we will try again.)
Crisp spring mornings teeming with the anticipation of sunrise contain a beautiful surprise to the observant eye. The sky dance of the American woodcock (photo by Gerry Krausse) is one of the earliest and most theatrical signs of spring. Learn all about these strange and amazing birds and the unique young forests they inhabit in Rhode Island with the RIDEM Division of Fish and Wildlife!
