There’s something about an island that attracts artists and craftspeople, and Block Island is no different. Maybe it’s the quality of the light and maybe it’s the more laid-back lifestyle, but the charms of the island find expression in the works created here. 

Each week explore different conservation areas with a local naturalist. Learn about the area’s unique micro-habitats and its relation to the Island’s larger ecosystem. Family-friendly Walk, complete with a scavenger list, insect nets, bug containers, etc.  

Help us Protect the Ocean, Come Volunteer!
