Wild Earth has served the mid-Hudson Valley with nature immersion experiences that foster community, empowerment, and mentorship since 2004. Programs and workshops for kids, teens, and adults, as well as camps and school programs, get participants “into the woods and off the trails” to engage with the environment, learn wilderness skills, create natural crafts, and build lasting connections.
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, on Saturday, April 29, Wild Earth will be hosting its first gala, “Bow Drills & Bow Ties,” at the Andy Murphy Neighborhood Center in Kingston.
The night kicks off with the gala from 5 to 8pm, and includes a cocktail hour with live music from the Bernstein Bard Trio, as well as dinner, dessert, a virtual silent auction, and access to the After Party. (Tickets ($150) and tables for 10 ($2,000) available.) Attendees are encouraged to get a little wild with their semi-formal attire—think flower crowns, acorn necklaces, and other nature-themed accents.
For anyone who wants to connect with the community and get in on the fun at a lower price point, the After Party ($25) runs from 8 to 10pm. Brooklyn afrobeat-influenced indie dance band Underground System will be jamming the night away.
