Boston Nature Center Community Dinner & Year in Review

Special Event: Wednesday, January 28

6:30-8:00 pm

Gather at the Boston Nature Center for an evening of good food, connection with neighbors, and meaningful conversation about everything we accomplished together this year. Over a shared meal, we'll explore the ongoing vital work of restoring our natural world and discuss an exciting opportunity to be part of a restoration project right here in our own backyard.

This free event is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the Boston Nature Center and the expanding, exciting work that we do. Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to environmental conservation, you'll discover ways to get involved and make a tangible difference in our local ecosystem. 

Come hear stories from the field, meet fellow advocates for our green spaces, and find out how your participation—whether through volunteering, advocacy, or simply spreading the word—can help protect and restore the natural areas that make our neighborhood special.
