SOLD OUT
Join NRLT for our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Annual Celebration, fondly referred to as Boots & Birkenstocks, as a tribute to the varied walks of life that have supported this organization for 25 years and counting!
Together we have protected more than 65,000 acres of wild and working lands, restored wetland and forest habitats, and provided opportunities for people of all ages to connect with the lands that sustain us. We look forward to our Annual Celebration dinner and auction each year as an opportunity to break bread with those who value the wild and working lands of our region, and to raise funds to continue conserving these important places.
At the root of it all is the people like you who stand together to protect our rural livelihoods and irreplaceable landscapes. THIS is what makes our work possible, and we can’t wait to celebrate together! Please join us at this year’s Annual Celebration to celebrate and support NRLT’s 25th anniversary year and beyond!
