Latest News and Events

Blizzard Updates (Updated February 27)

❄️ The Nature Center and Aquarium will resume normal hours beginning Saturday, February 28 – please join us for Free Family Fun Day! Although the building is closed until then, our parking lot is plowed and visitors are welcome on the grounds.

❄️ Our headquarters office will reopen on Monday, March 2.

❄️ Currently, the following Audubon Wildlife Refuges have plowed parking lots:
Caratunk Wildlife Refuge (Seekonk, MA), Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge (Exeter, RI), Fort Wildlife Refuge (North Smithfield, RI), Maxwell Mays Wildlife Refuge (Coventry, RI), Nature Center and Aquarium (Bristol, RI), Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge (Smithfield, RI)
Our team is working hard to get lots cleared at other locations, but please note that some parking lots may remain unplowed for some time.

❄️ The Audubon Society of RI manages fourteen wildlife refuges for public access: you can help us weather the storm of the unexpected blizzard expenses by making a donation today!

In May and June, turtles and other wildlife will set out to find suitable nesting sites to lay their eggs. Eggs hatch in August in September. For many, they'll need to cross busy roads to access their habitats and nesting sites. Learn tips on how to help them cross, and about the other threats they face.

While humans may take their cozy homes for granted when winter sets in, the strategies that wildlife have developed to cope with the plunging temperatures, biting wind and lack of food are as creative and innovative as they are necessary.
