Thank you to eveyone that joined us for our Fall Party & Annual Meeting! Missed the event? Check out our Annual Report below for more details.

Join us for this year's Fall Party and Annual Meeting! We will announce 2023 volunteer and donor award winners, hear from one of our Naturalists, Jim Schwiebert, as he discusses our conservation efforts at the Henke Acres property, as well as highlight what we've been up to over the past year! The Annual Meeting presentation will reflect back to 2023 and discuss our plans for 2024-2025 as we hear from our Executive Director, Erik Keisler and some members of our Friends Board.

During the Annual Meeting presentation, we will have kid's activities for those to enjoy! We plan to show a fall movie, and make a fun, autumn-themed craft!

Dinner and drinks will be provided with registration. Each registration will receive one drink ticket. We welcome you for a night of comradery and nature activities for both kids and adults; music, and good company. We hope to see you and your families there!
