Wishing for Spring Fever?
Join us on March 24th!

Save the date, March 24th, as we celebrate the arrival of Spring in the Blackstone Valley. VIP Kathy Barton will be presenting a visual interpretive program on Spring Wildflowers of the Blackstone Valley.  As many of you know Kathy has incredible knowledge of all things that grow wild!  A chance to escape and cure your cabin fever, visually feel that spring is in the air and network with other volunteers of the Volunteers In Parks (VIP) program.

Spring is a time of renewal and new beginnings, and it is also wonderful chance to reconnect and feel re-energized.  If you are not already a VIP come learn more about becoming a VIP!  You are encouraged to bring a friend and imagine the possibilities!
