Learning with Audubon
Through educational programs geared towards people of all ages, Audubon Society of Rhode Island strives to develop an environmentally literate and motivated community that supports and promotes sustainable living and stewardship of our natural resources.
Audubon educates youth through school programs and summer camps while providing environmental literacy training for educators throughout the state. These programs are continuously updated to align with state and national curriculum requirements.
Our nature tours and other public programs provide a variety of fun, engaging ways for adults and families to learn about and foster respect for birds, wildlife, and nature.
