This calendar lists volunteer opportunities to clean up and get rid of hazardous waste at your home (the Eco-Depots), shoreline and public space cleanups, water monitoring projects, butterfly counts, invasive plant eradication projects, and much more. All hands on deck!
Save the Bay's International Coastal Cleanup has more than 30 opportunities from August to November 2023.
Every event concerning Rhode Island's environment can be added to What Grows On in Rhode Island! Listings are free, and will show up automatically on several websites as well, including Environment Council of RI. Links to the Calendar or subcalendars can be found on other websites as well. Appropriate events also show up on such websites.. Selected events -- or the Whole Shebang -- can show up on your website, too. [Hint, hint!] Ask me about this.

What Grows On in RI was recognized in Rhode Island Monthly's Best of Rhode Island listings as "Website for Green Fun" on page 126 of the August 2013 issue!
"…What Grows On offers up a comprehensive calendar of all-things green, from farmers markets across the state -- including ones you've never even heard of -- to birding excursions, heirloom tomato classes and river clean-ups. Plan your eco-chic weekend via the 'Everything' calendar, or sort through garden or kid-friendly events. The planet will thank you later."
Thank you, Rhode Island Monthly, for the recognition!

What Grows On in RI is free for everybody, but well-organized information isn't really free. There are expenses. If you like using the Calendar and find the ProvGardener website useful, I hope you'll make a contribution through my Patreon page. And let your friends know about the Calendar!
Many thanks!
