Aquidneck Island Earth Week is back, beginning April 19

You’re invited to get involved, take action, and make a difference for our planet!

By Ryan Belmore, WUN

Community partners across Aquidneck Island are coming together to host a week packed with impactful, eco-friendly events. Join us for clean-ups, free workshops, film screenings, work parties, guided hikes, and so much more!

Now in its sixth year, Aquidneck Island Earth Week is a unified effort by local non-profits, town committees, businesses, and residents to engage the community in environmental awareness and action.

Explore all event details at www.aquidneckearthweek.com and get ready to make a difference!

Parents and educators—don’t miss the student activities! Dive into Earth Week Bingo, native species scavenger hunts, and fun at-home learning opportunities.

Together, we can create lasting change—for our community, for our island, and for our planet!
