Dear Friend,

​

As the seasons change and we reflect on a year full of wonder, discovery, and
growth at Briar Bush Nature Center, we are reminded of the powerful role
community plays in protecting our natural world.

​

With your help, thousands of visitors of all ages have experienced the magic of nature —
whether it was a child discovering a box turtle on a trail, a family marveling at our resident owls, or a student learning about ecosystems in a hands-on way.

​

This year, your year-end support is more important than ever. Your donation to our General Fund will sustain:  

​

• Care for our animal ambassadors

• Environmental education programs for all ages

• Conservation of our 12.5-acre preserve

​​

​​​

​

​We also welcome in-kind donations, which help us stretch every dollar. High-need items
include:

​

• Activities and books for our Children’s Programs

• Animal ambassador enrichment toys

• Tools for grounds maintenance (gloves, organizers, etc.)

​​

​

​

Every gift—monetary or material—plants a seed for the future. Please use the links above or send a check written out to Friends of Briar Bush to make your year-end gift today.

​

Thank you for keeping us rooted in community and growing toward
the future.

​

With gratitude,
 

​

​
