## About

An hour-long guided nature walk around Roger Williams Park led by the Museum of Natural History, looking for signs of the birds, mammals, plants and insects that live in the city's backyard. Recommended for ages 4 and up, and families are encouraged; bring binoculars if you have them. Walks meet at the museum. Pets and strollers are not allowed, so plan for little ones to walk. The fee is $3 per person (free for museum members) and pre-registration is preferred.
