Our annual meeting of the membership is an opportunity to connect, engage and celebrate the accomplishments of so many who make our mission possible. The meeting is usually held in autumn and includes field trips to explore our reservations and surrounding natural spaces.

As a membership-based organization, an annual meeting is required by our nonprofit organization's bylaws.
