Summer Picnic

12 pm to 4 pm

At the same time as the need for access to nature has grown, the resources and funding available have shrunk dramatically. The financial insecurity many are experiencing has impacted our funding streams significantly, Increased demand on grants, foundations, and donors has meant that the already limited resources available to nonprofits is even more spread thin.

We know it’s been a challenging time for many people. Agencies and initiatives aimed at increasing equity, inclusion, and diversity in many fields have been defunded. Environmental protection laws and policies have been rejected in favor of profit. Across the country, public lands have been stripped of protection, personnel, and federal funding. Now more than ever, we believe the work we are doing to create equitable access to nature, educate young people about how and why to care for the environment, and build connections to public land like our beautiful national parks and forests, is overwhelmingly important.

Help us continue to do this work! Join us for a summer picnic party celebrating the wide range of ways to engage with nature, build community, and have fun outdoors! We’ll be hosting a lawn games tournament, offering hot dogs and drinks at the concession stand, and ending the night with a karaoke battle, all to support the wellbeing of local youth, the future of the ecosystems we depend on, and the care of the public land that surrounds us.
