Opt Outside – Black Friday Sunset Hike and Campfire

Join us in following REI’s movement to #Optoutside this Black Friday to show that on a day where so many are crowding into stores to shop, we can enjoy the tranquility of nature together! We will gather at the site of our wildlife center (not yet open to the public) just before sunset to hike a loop around the property, see the future location for our stargazing / wildlife viewing platform and then settle in around the campfire to warm up, enjoy some hot cocoa and smores while listening for owl calls and awaiting the beautiful array of stars to join us above. We will discuss the future plans for the wildlife center, give a lesson on native wildlife, and kickoff our next fundraising campaign.

** Donations to help us with our work and ensure the stargazing platform becomes a reality is welcomed and encouraged! We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that exists because of the generosity of our community!
