Community

As we grow our community, we regularly host events and programs on the Preserve and in the Welcome Center. From our monthly Talk & Tours and walking meditations to Audubon bird outings and invasive weed cleanup parties.

ATTENTION! Our website Calendar is currently undergoing maintenance.

To stay up-to-date with our monthly events, to know when we have our Prescribed Burns, to learn more about the Natural Burial Movement , and to be a part of our community of Families & Friends who enjoy the Preserve, we invite you to sign up for our monthly What’s Happening email newsletter:
