How can you inspire hope, increase the survival rate of songbirds, help teenagers, support local farmers, nurture creativity, and conserve rain forest while having fun? On September 10-12, we will offer a weekend of events that do just that, and help reforest degraded acres of critical migratory bird habitat in Vermont and Costa Rica.
Beauty for the Bellbirds will kick-off the weekend to benefit our Bosque para Siempre project. On Friday evening until dark and Saturday morning, we’ll hold a sidewalk chalk-drawing extravaganza on the village sidewalks of Woodstock, Vermont! People of all ages and artistic abilities and talents are invited to draw artwork that reflects the importance of conservation for our and future generations, and the magnificence of the environment.
Our annual para la Tierra dinner is on Sunday evening and will be held at the new carefully crafted venue at beautiful Cloudland Farm in Woodstock. The views from the porch and dining room are lovely. The evening will feature a fabulous dinner with a focus on local farm-raised food. We’ll host a silent auction, which includes incredible trips, hand-crafted jewelry and other items, art, many pieces from Costa Rica, and more. We’ll premier the latest edition of our presentation RARE: Research, Action, Results, and the Environment and footage done by Vermont filmmakers Anne Macksoud and Nora Jacobson for The Vermont Movie, which features the Change the World Kids.
Last year’s para la Tierra weekend raised $13,667 for habitat purchase and reforestation in Bosque para Siempre!
