WHAT: Join us for a meaningful evening out at the beautiful Crestmore Manor venue while enjoying delicious food, good company, and like-minded appreciation for the natural world. This year we will be celebrating all that has bloomed in the past 10 years of support for our signature fundraising event, including our growing outdoor education programming and our California Native Plant Community Gardens. In addition to highlighting native plants you can bring to your own gardens, we are also excited to welcome the return of Wild Wonders to our event and the unique opportunity to meet local wildlife during our gala reception. We are also pleased to be honoring Inland Empire Resource Conservation District with our 2023 Environmental Excellence Award.

 The Annual Gala is Rivers & Lands Conservancy’s largest and most significant fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from the event support our current programs and their future growth. Sponsorships help ensure the success of what we anticipate being a sold-out event. The Gala is a wonderful opportunity to mix and mingle with the local conservation community and we are always thrilled to share our sponsor’s support with our constituents.
