How the Rhode Island year breaks down

Counted, not claimed

Something in the Rhode Island list is in bloom from March through October, and June is the peak — 15 of the 30 species are flowering then.

12 of them are caterpillar host plants and 9 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Rhode Island yards.

Across the twelve Rhode Island month pages the reference side draws on 6 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 7 things coming into season locally.

Before you buy

Who this is for

Made for

  • Someone who wants the whole Rhode Island year and somewhere to record it
  • Anyone buying the Rhode Island Nature Year who would have come back for the journal anyway
  • Households where more than one person in Rhode Island goes outside

Not for

  • Anyone who only wants to read Rhode Island month by month — the free Rhode Island pages already do that
  • Anyone who does not print; most of what is here is made for paper

Everything here describes typical timing across Rhode Island, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Rhode Island pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.

Questions

Before you decide

What exactly is in the Rhode Island set?

Rhode Island Nature Year 2027 and The Rhode Island Nature Journal — every file each of them contains.

What if I already own one of these Rhode Island editions?

Then buy the others on their own — the Rhode Island set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $42.00 for a file you already have.

Is this cheaper than buying the Rhode Island editions one at a time?

Yes — $42.00 rather than $48.00, a saving of $6.00. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 2 separate times.

Do the Rhode Island files arrive together?

They arrive as one download list on one page — 12 files in all for Rhode Island, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.

How accurate is the timing for Rhode Island?

It describes typical timing across Rhode Island drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Rhode Island dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".

Is it worth paying when the Rhode Island pages here are free?

The free Rhode Island pages are the month you are in; these are the Rhode Island editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.

Will it work for my part of Rhode Island, or just the big cities?

It is written at state resolution — Rhode Island as a whole, with regional notes where Rhode Island genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.

What format is the Rhode Island edition, and can I print it?

A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Rhode Island pages are made to be carried outside.

What if the Rhode Island set is not what I expected?

Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Rhode Island edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.

Everything in this set is also sold on its own — Rhode Island Nature Year 2027 and The Rhode Island Nature Journal — and the free Rhode Island pages cover this month either way.
