A bewildering array of agencies, departments, commissions, working groups, teams, businesses, and other assorted organizations of citizens, professionals, hobbyists, and environmentalists impact Rhode Island's natural resources.
I have many more groups to add, but there isn't enough time in the day yet to get them in! But send names of other groups along anyway if you know of other RI environmental groups to The Providential Gardener.
