There will be beer and wine available for purchase, as well as opportunities to donate to The Nature Place. Proceeds from the concert will directly benefit The Nature Place, our nature-based community center in Myrick Park. If you haven’t stopped by to check it out, please visit us soon, as we’ve been working to transform the center into “nature’s living room,” and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the space. The Nature Place is a division of Central Conservation, and we are excited to share it with you!
