Take to the

Trails!

Discover the

Nature of

Rhode Island 

April 17-25, 2010 

Take to the trails this spring! Go ahead and explore those special places around the state that are only accessible by foot. Take a nighttime stroll, search for salamanders, explore a salt marsh, discover the rocky shore of Narragansett Bay or bring the kids on a family nature hike. Learn about the varied habitats and creatures that call Rhode Island home and at the same time, get to know your local Audubon naturalist.

At a time when many children (and adults too) spend more and more time in front of a computer or video screen and outdoor play is becoming increasing rare, Audubon invites families to celebrate Earth Day by getting outside and having fun in nature. Hiking not only provides good exercise and reduces stress; it connects people of all ages with the natural world.

The Audubon Society of Rhode Island is offering a weeklong schedule of FREE guided walks at wildlife refuges across the state and nearby Massachusetts. There are programs to suite all ages, interests, and capabilities - from mild birding walks on easy trails to strenuous hikes on steep, rocky terrain. It's a fun, free celebration of planet Earth.  And it's happening at an Audubon wildlife refuge near you!
