Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park Fundraising Event Oct. 17

WILTON — Wild About Blue, a fundraising event for the Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park will be taking place 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 17.

At this year’s event, the Preserve & Park will also be celebrating its 25th anniversary. Founded in 1996, it has become a leader in the community in environmental education, outdoor recreation, and its work supporting its partners in the conservation of important habitats, including that of the endangered Karner blue butterfly.

The Metamorphosis Award honors individuals who have helped create dramatic changes in their communities, just as the Karner blue butterfly and other species go through remarkable transformations in their life cycles. This year’s award will be presented to Bob Rice – longtime Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park board member, treasurer, co-founder of the Wilton Rotary, and a Town of Wilton Board Member. 

Tickets for Wild About Blue are available for $75 per person and can be purchased by calling the Preserve & Park office at 518-450-0321 or via email at info@wiltonpreserve.org. All attendees are being asked to provide proof of vaccination in order to protect the health of the community.
