How Centennial Celebrations work...

Happy 100th Anniversary Briar Bush! To commemorate this milestone in our history, Briar Bush Nature Center, with the help of many “Friends,” has organized 44 parties and environmental education (EE) events for a year-long celebration. The fun began Friday, March 14 at the Kick-Off Party at Glenside Hall, where people had the first chance to sign up for all of our Centennial Celebrations while enjoying food, drinks, and live music.

Couldn't make it to the Kick-Off? Don't worry - reservations are still being accepted (in the order payment is received) up to one week before each party date. Many events only allow for a limited number of guests, so make reservations early in order to participate in all of the events of your choice! If an event you have selected is full, you will be notified and put on a waiting list.

Friends of Briar Bush receive a member’s discount on all EE event tickets; if you would like to receive this discount, become a member today!


Why you should celebrate with us...

We are very grateful for the generous contribution of the sponsors, the hosts and artists in our community that made these parties possible. As a supporter, you are helping to establish a lasting legacy of open space for wildlife and our community to enjoy.

Centennial Celebrations contributions will fund several special projects:

  • Reforestation and native plantings for wildlife habitats
  • Pocket Naturalist Field Guide to Briar Bush
  • “Think & Go Green” sustainability initiative and advocacy for the entire community
  • Natural Playscape design and development for the Center
  • Endowment growth for the future

Sign up early and often for events in which you are interested.

Enjoy a wonderful year of Centennial Celebrations!
