About this event

They're everywhere, but what are they? Discover this unique community organism and what it can tell us about air quality, new science, and the origins of life on earth! Some even glow! Meet at Blackstone Field, across from the Narragansett Boat Club (2 River Drive, Providence, RI 02906). Registration strongly recommended. This event is part of our monthly "Nature on the Move" series with 15 Minute Field Trips ,focusing on community action to protect wildlife, promote biodiversity, and combat climate change. Learn about local flora and fauna through art and science activities. Great for families or to use in the classroom. Get moving as we explore Blackstone Park. We'll still have great displays and crafts, but we're adding more guided walks this year. See you there! The "Nature on the Move" series is led by our longtime collaborator Melissa Guillet , from 15 Minute Field Trips . Melissahas taught art for over 20 years and is an avid nature-lover involved in gardening, hiking, and collecting data as a citizen scientist.
