The Nature Center's education staff – the Preschool Teachers and Environmental Educators – are the backbone of this organization. Every year they help hundreds of children establish a connection to nature, planting the seeds of future environmental ethics in each of them. The Board of Trustees is grateful to them for their tireless service and are pleased to recognize and thank them for their deep commitment to the Nature Center and its mission.
Join us at this special celebration featuring an ice bar and throne, ice cups, ice carvings of woodland creatures including groundhogs, and a live carving demonstration by local artist Bill Bywater. Enjoy beer, wine and warm beverages from the open bar, as well as passed hors d'oeuvres. Stay warm by the fire pits and heaters on this wintery afternoon. *This adults only event will be held entirely outdoors. Please dress accordingly.*
