Join Environmental Educator Connie Ganley for a perfect Arbor Day project: a home for pollinators! Did you know that trees need pollination to produce fruit and nuts? Learn how they provide the planet with plants, flowers, vegetables, and trees. You can help keep pollinators like bees and butterflies healthy by creating a haven to live and raise their young. Place your creation in your yard, and watch who moves in! Using repurposed containers and natural elements, fashion a one-of-a-kind art piece to bring joy to your garden.
This workshop is for ages 6 to 12; an adult must accompany children.
<hr>
Registration is required. Space is limited to 1 adult per child.

Keep Bristol Clean will host its 37th annual town-wide cleanup on Saturday, April 25, 2026 beginning at 9:00 a.m. The event will begin at the Bristol Department of Public Works, 111 Mt.

The cleanup will take place rain or shine.
Volunteers are needed for the success of this community effort. You may adopt a spot to clean up by letting organizers know when you arrive, or you may elect to be assigned to a location in special need. Many of Bristol’s open space, natural areas, and coastal areas will be addressed this year. Long sleeve shirts, long pants, and closed toe shoes are suggested. No pre-registration is needed.
Keep Bristol Clean is being organized by the Bristol Conservation Commission with help from the Bristol Department of Public Works. This event is proudly sponsored by BayCoast Bank, the Office of the Governor’s Litter Free Rhode Island initiative, and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Do you want to explore your creative side? Do you want to experiment with colors without fear of making a mistake? Come join me in this easy, magical, and relaxing adventure into the world of freedom and creativity, after which you will get a masterpiece created by your own hands.

We aren’t going to learn how to paint or try complex techniques but observe how the paint lives and reacts on the fabric, directing it wherever our imagination wants the paint to go.
