The Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is pleased to announce an alternative spring break program close to home! Last year's participants overwhelmingly reported that, although the work was hard, they would definitely participate in a similar program in the future or recommend the program to a friend. Please join us!

This year's efforts will again focus on the removal of autumn olive from densely infested areas on the Reserve's South Prudence Island property.
