Saving Nearby Nature

Hello Northern Virginia,


We are excited to invite you to our upcoming fundraising gala, An Evening in the Garden at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, on June 8, 2023, from 6 to 9 pm. This year's theme is Be A Hero, and as the owners and stewards of conserved land, you are already a hero in our eyes. So for you, this delightful evening meant to celebrate conservation successes across Northern Virginia is FREE! NVCT's gala last year at the venerable River Farm was a fantastic celebration, and this year looks even brighter! Join us on June 8 to enjoy excellent food, drink, and company alongside many local conservationists and your regional land trust!


If you plan to attend, simply reply to this email and tell us whom you are bringing, with a limit of two tickets per household. We will respond by promptly sending you a copy of your digital ticket! Please include your first and last name, email, and, if willing, cell phone number so that we may provide you with essential event updates.


You play a critical role in land and water conservation throughout Northern Virginia by owning and stewarding the conserved natural heritage that matters to you. Please join us on June 8, as we would love to see you at the event and say thank you. We've included a link to more details below, but please remember that you can register by emailing us directly. Hope to see you there!
