- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Come join us on a work day at the Exploration Center & Aquarium! On March 19-21, we will be tackling the following projects:
- Aquarium maintenance such as cleaning and painting
- Harvesting American beach grass (Ammophila brevigulata) for transplanting to dune restoration sites (outdoors)
Perfect project for small groups! We will rotate between the different tasks, so please come prepared for both.
Please dress in clothes suitable for cleaning and painting, with plenty of layers for the outdoor beach grass work. Please bring your own reusable garden gloves and knee pads, if you have them, and we will provide some as well.
If you have questions, or any trouble registering, please contact July Lewis at jlewis@savebay.org or 401-272-3540 x130. Thank you!

About Save The Bay
Location:
100 Save the Bay Drive, Providence, RI 02905, US
Mission Statement
Save The Bay protects, restores and improves the ecological health of the Narragansett Bay region, including its watershed and adjacent coastal waters, through an ecosystem-based approach to environmental action; defends the right of the public to use and enjoy the Bay and its surrounding waters; and fosters an ethic of environmental stewardship among people who live in or visit the Narragansett Bay region.
Description
Save The Bay was founded on the community's desire to protect our most precious resource - Narragansett Bay. To do that, Save The Bay has focused on the development of a committed constituency for the Bay. Children and adults throughout this region have learned the tremendous value the Bay brings to our economy, our environment and our quality of life.
In defense of Narragansett Bay and its watershed, Save The Bay has watched over the activities and programs of the government and the citizenry that degrade the environmental quality of the Bay, basin, and watershed. Save The Bay provides educational opportunities for children and adults to explore the Bay, fostering a understanding and a sense of personal responsibility for the resource.
