Once you have submitted this form, our Wildlife Outreach staff will contact you to confirm your reservation and arrange for kit pickup. To learn more about the Rhody Critter Kit Program and view the online resources click here. 

To view available dates for each kit, click here.  Educators can borrow multiple kits, but can only borrow each kit once per school year to ensure equitable access to the materials. All lesson plans, activities, etc. can be accessed at any time here if you would like to extend the amount of time spent learning with the kits.  

Critter Kits are available to borrow for 2 weeks at a time. Once your reservation has been confirmed, your selected kit can be picked up any time during your reservation period from the Washington Park Library located at 90 Ives Street, Providence. 

Please return your kit during library hours by or on the last day of your reservation period.  Please have the kit organized for the next educator by completing the kit checklist confirming all items have been returned. On the back of the checklist is a feedback form. Please complete the form, which provides our staff with critical information for our Federal grant reports, and helps us continue to improve the kits in the future. 

*PLEASE READ*: We are able to offer these kits for free thanks to funding provided by the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration and State Wildlife Grant Programs. In order to continue providing these resources, we ask that all educators show the 3-minute “What’s Our Mission” video to their students and/or include information regarding current conservation work underway in the state. Providing this context will allow us to maintain the kits for future use and expand the materials available. Thank you!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our staff are happy to help provide any support you need!
