This year, we have a number of exciting events planned. Please join us as we continue to advance the mission of the Foundation.
As all of our events are outdoors, there is an element of environmental condition dependency that may lead to adjustments to our calendar.
In February, the Wildwood Open Lands Foundation will host its third annual fundraiser to support open lands conservation in Nevada. Please join us for great food, friends, and a great cause. Meet the Wildwood Open Lands team, and learn about our initiative and 2026 events. There will be a raffle and silent auction, supported by local businesses across the region.
