Thank you, @SenJackReed for your support of estuaries and coastal habitats! @Estuaries4Life @RAEstuaries

[Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed]

Great to visit Narragansett Bay Estuarine Research Reserve on Prudence Island. As we celebrate #EarthDay, we are reminded of the importance protecting our coastal habitats here in RI from the impacts of pollution and climate change

Voting #YesOn2RI will approve $15 million for clean + safe drinking water projects across RI. Projects like extending water main service to the Harrisville neighborhood in Burrillville where water wells had become contaminated. https://t.co/t1b0NULuYd

"...there is one aspect of life in RI that remains very much the same — the importance placed on the state’s environment + on the opportunity to escape with their families + friends for time in the outdoors."

- Bob Bendick, DEM Director from 1982-1990.

The bluebirds were out and about enjoying this pre-storm balmy day. They are just the lovely birds, aren't they?

[NBNERR @PrudenceSteward]

What a team! This eager group of kids helped us remove a ton of invasive European Larch trees today at the south end. This has become an annual tradition for this group and we are so thankful for their help!

Dr. Daisy Durant to the rescue! Our sonde, the instrument used to collect water quality data in Nag Creek, was frozen in place. Daisy broke her way through the ice and the sonde is now safely back in the warm lab where it will remain until late March when the creeks thaw out :)
