At least we have three whole days to say so long to summer. Here are lots of ways to get outdoors and enjoy.

On Saturday, you can learn how to tuck in your garden for the winter, at City Farm; hike at Buck Hill in Burrillville with the Appalachian Mountain Club; catch Waterfire in the evening. If you haven't checked out the butterfly exhibit at Roger Williams Park Zoo, this weekend is your last chance, it closes after Monday. It's also your last chance this year to visit Save The Bay's Exploration Center at First Beach in Newport -- for this weekend, buy one admission, get one free.

Check out NNN's Community Calendar for details on these events, listings of farmers markets, and lots more.

If you've been thinking about taking up kayaking, this weekend is a good time to buy one of your own at a discount. Check out the sale at the Kayak Center.

You can try it out next Thursday -- the Woonasquatucket River folks are leading an evening paddle along the river, click here for details. There are tons of events coming up in September, all across the state -- Audubon's raptor event, hikes and kayak trips and classes and lots more, so be sure to keep checking in with NNN!

You can also find event listings at the projo's Green Calendar.
