2025 Earth Month Programming
Native Seedling Sale!
This year, ERICD distributed over 1,200 native seedlings to residents, organizations, and businesses throughout Rhode Island. Over 30 volunteers helped us prepare our seedlings, and we couldn’t have done it without them!
Plogging in Earth Month!
During this year’s Earth Month ERICD hosted 3 Plogging events, resulting in over 480 pounds of trash being removed from Newport County! We want to thank our over 150 plogging volunteers who made this all possible!
Rain Barrel Events
For the sixth year we are hosting rain barrel workshops for local residents to learn how to make their own rain barrels and then take them home. These barrels collect stormwater for use in gardens and on lawns.
Rain barrels can be purchased through EventBrite.
Upcoming Workshop Dates Include:
Portsmouth - May 17, 2025 (Rain date: May 18, 2025)
Thank you to our Earth Month 2025 sponsors!
