See the Great Outdoors
Playing, visiting and enjoying being outside is the first step to build love of nature and our environment.
While doing this, if you see something awe-inspiring, take an image and share on our KBVB facebook page. We want to see it too.

Get Rid of Plastic Bottles for Good
For those who know me, know this is something I hope everyone will do. No more plastic water bottles--please.
And to scare you into making this change, did you realize plastic water bottles have 3 times more microplastics in them than if you used tap water? I learned this information at the URI Microplastic Conference in October from our scientists.

Spare the Air -- Minimize Using Your Car
Walk, ride your bike, or take the train, or carpool when possible.
We have the awesome Blackstone River Bikeway with on-road & off-road connections that can take you from North Smithfield to India Point in Providence, and then connects to the East Bay Bike Path.
And coming soon is the new train station in Pawtucket - Central Falls offering service into Boston & Providence.
