Nature and North woods URI event<\/h2>

Save the date, Friday, April 17 at 6pm for a nature celebration meant for the whole family! Start off with a pizza dinner, then venture into URI’s North Woods to learn from scientists about biodiversity, habitats, and maybe (definitely) catch some frogs! We’ll also practice some nature journaling while we take in the sights.
If you have them, feel free to bring lawn chairs and\/or blankets to facilitate eating outside. The hike through the woods is about a quarter mile over mulched\/dirt paths. Registration coming soon.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
