The Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium will be closed on January 22nd for a private event and January 28th for the sold-out Audubon Conservation Symposium. Trails and grounds will remain open to the public to enjoy both days. Thank you for your understanding!

At wildlife refuges across Rhode Island, Audubon manages hundreds of acres of open fields for birds and wildlife. Without proper management, most of these breaks in the forested landscape would revert to shrub thickets and eventually forest in the process of field succession.

The bridge on the blue trail at Ruecker Wildlife Refuge in Tiverton, RI has been washed out and the trail is currently impassable. Thank you for your patience as we fix it!

Restoration and community engagement are key for climate resiliency. Thanks to Restore America’s Estuaries Southern New England Program Watershed Implementation Grant, retrofits on existing green infrastructure in Roger Williams Park as well as community training sessions and other engagement opportunities are coming to the Stormwater Innovation Center in 2023.

With intentional investments and incentives to level the costs of building solar on previously disturbed land or “preferred sites”—such as gravel pits, landfills, commercially zoned properties, rooftops, and parking lots—forests can be protected and coexist with renewable energy and clean energy jobs.
