Fifteen volunteers–five each from Appalachian Mountain Club, Friends of Blackstone Woods and the Blackstone Parks Conservancy–hauled woodchips and built waterbars in the central section of Blackstone Park Conservation District April 6th. Thanks to all who gave their Saturday morning to helping restore trails.

Speaking at the Blackstone Parks Conservancy’s annual meeting at Lippitt House April 2, architectural historian Mack Woodward urged the audience to “think of what this little park is to mean to people a few years from now.”

Though rain dampened the turnout for the Blackstone Parks Conservancy’s first Earth Day, volunteers made a spirited showing at the Blackstone Park Conservation District.

The event takes place at the Jewish Alliance of Greater RI, 401 Elmgrove Avenue, Providence, RI, 02906, from 10 am to 2pm.  For further details click here.

Due to a rainy start today, we are delaying a few of our events. Please see below for the start times.

Urban Naturalists from Nathan Bishop Middle School showed up in the Blackstone Park Conservation District to show passersby treasures ranging from a fox pelt to snakeskins. (Did you know there are foxes in the Park?)

You are invited to an Earth Day Celebration and Clean-up in Blackstone Park Conservation District, next Saturday, April 20th.

The other morning I awakened to an early sunrise and the sweet sound of birds tweeting outside my window–a much welcomed sign that Spring is approaching. Soon the trees will blossom, the temperatures will rise, and various migratory birds will brighten our local green space with stunning colors and song.
