About this Event

Join us for a day of fun and outdoor adventure at the Wild About Nature Festival on Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This event will bring not-for-profits and community organizations from across the region to Big Waters Land Trust's Bay Preserve for nature-based activities the whole family will enjoy! From tree-climbing to nature printing, kayaking to wildlife ID – each year this annual event brings our community together to celebrate all things outdoors. Plus, food trucks, special presentations, and live music make this a day you won’t want to miss!

We are looking for volunteers who would be interested in helping with this event. We are expecting about 1000-1200 people.
