Mark McKenney from Warwick plans to introduce a Senate version, with environmental groups backing the effort while industry groups oppose it. The Providence Journal
- ➤ Yesterday, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management stocked hundreds of freshwater locations with 60,000 trout to launch the trout fishing season, a spring tradition for thousands of anglers.

- ➤ Hummingbird Central is mapping the migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds as they near their typical late April arrival in Rhode Island; local experts urge residents to set feeders with a mix (one part sugar to four parts water) and clean them weekly with a 10% bleach solution to support the birds' journey.
