# Event Details - **Event Name**: Fungal Forest Care Day / Día del Cuidado del Bosque de Hongos - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm - **Event Description**: Our Forest Care Days brings people together in Providence to explore forest stewardship, outdoor learning, and community connection.About this Event--When you walk through a forest or a thriving garden, there is a hidden world beneath your feet teaming with forms of life that you can hardly imagine! In this event we'll take a peak behind the curtain and see how that life, specifically the fungi and their related mushrooms, comes to be. We'll learn about the collaborative relationships that fungi and other soil microorganisms have with the plants that we care about, and how they can even help us restore contaminated areas.As with all of our Forest Care Days, we'll then get to work and get our hands dirty! We'll W**d existing plants and trees at our Fungal Forest along the Greenway, add natural wood chips and leaf mulch to encourage fungi to grow, and innoculate freshly cut logs with fungi spores to bring new life into the space. This is a chance to experiment and identify the best strategies we can use to bring helpful fungi into soil where trees grow in our city, and how we can maybe even grow edible and delicious mushrooms in the process!Whether you're an expert mycologist or are just curious (or even skeptical) about fungi, join us for a few hours of learning and loving labor.This Forest Care Day is in partnership with the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District through their Urban Growers Leadership Program. -This event is part of the Nuestros Bosques Event Series, a program focused on forest stewardship, outdoor learning, and community engagement in Providence. Participants explore local woodlands, care for neighborhood trees and understory plants, and connect with the natural environment together.Join us for Nuestros Bosques Forest Care Days, a series of community volunteer days dedicated to caring for neighborhood trees and green spaces in Providence.Throughout the season, we’ll travel to different sites across 02909 and 02908 to support the health of our growing urban forest. These gatherings bring neighbors together to care for the trees that shade our streets, cool our neighborhoods, and make our communities stronger.Volunteer tasks will vary by location and need. Together we may remove invasive plants, pick up litter, water young trees, spread mulch, and help maintain the spaces where our trees grow. These days are also designed to be family-friendly, with activities for kids and opportunities for everyone to get involved.Nuestros Bosques Forest Care Days are about more than just tree care—they’re about building community. Sometimes we’re working hard, and sometimes we’re just vibing: giving back, sharing food, and celebrating with neighbors.Events are free, bilingual (Spanish and English), and open to everyone. Food will be available, and all tools and supplies will be provided.Please dress for outdoor work, including comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, and sun protection. Bring water and anything else you need to stay comfortable.Register to receive location details and event updates.Time:10:00 AM – 1:00 PM2026 Dates:April 4 (Rain Date April 5)May 2 (Rain Date May 3)June 6 (Rain Date June 7)July 11 (Rain Date July 12)August 1 (Rain Date August 2)September 12 (Rain Date September 13)October 3 (Rain Date October 4)Come help care for our neighborhood forest and grow something meaningful together.Volunteer activities may include:Removing invasive plantsPlanting native trees and understory plantsMulching and caring for existing treesLitter clean-up along the GreenwayCrafts and hands-on nature activities for kidsAccessibility & AmenitiesAccessible to anyone able to use the bike pathClosest public restroom is about a 10-minute walk awayFamily-friendly — children welcome with a parent or guardianWater and snacks providedLow physical strain / beginner friendlyBilingual event leaders (Spanish and English) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/johnston/fungal-forest-care-day-día-del-cuidado-del-bosque-de-hongos/100001986439850065 - **Event Categories**: kids, volunteering, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: 15 Goldsmith St - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Johnston - **state**: RI - **country**: United States - **location**: 15 Goldsmith St - **lat**: 41.8343862 - **long**: -71.4732204 - **full address**: 15 Goldsmith St, 15 Goldsmith Street, Johnston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fungal Forest Care Day / Día del Cuidado del Bosque de Hongos - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/c287c76b070e36e5be99ed93bb71efdbbf34bcae291c2fc1aac9af4014b162c6-rimg-w1200-h1600-dc181b14-gmir.jpg?v=1775108230 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fungal Forest Care Day / Dia del Cuidado del Bosque de Hongos being held?
