The Ogden Nature Center is hosting its Wildwoods BASH, an annual fundraiser which supports the Nature Center’s mission to unite people with nature and nurture appreciation and stewardship of the environment.

The public is invited to come out and show their support for nature education in our community, while enjoying a fun evening outdoors.  The event includes a gourmet dinner prepared by some of Ogden’s favorite restaurants, live music by The Blue Sage Band and an auction of outdoor gear, experiences, art and gifts – all inspired by nature.  This fun, casual party is held in Ogden Nature Center’s backyard glen.

Tickets are $60 per person or $1000 for a reserved, sponsor table of 10.  Tickets may be purchased online at www.ogdennaturecenter.org <http://www.ogdennaturecenter.org>  or by phone at 801-621-7595 or in person at the Ogden Nature Center, 966 W. 12th St., Ogden.

All proceeds from the Wildwoods BASH support the Ogden Nature Center’s award-winning environmental education programs for school children, nature programs for the community and two beautiful nature preserves, totaling over 175 acres of open space in Ogden.
