An Enchanted Evening in Nature
Born in November of 1984, the Valley Nature Center is inviting you to celebrate twenty-five successful years of bringing nature to anyone with an open mind and soul. Our mission still brings joy and education to children and adults alike! Won’t you join us in making this an enchanted evening remembered by everyone?
Today the VNC serves over 16,000 students each year, hosts 10,000 nature visitors, and reaches a total of some 60,000 people annually through our programs and partnerships. The center serves the entire Rio Grande Valley community, and each year brings refined programs and opportunities for visitors to become one with nature. In today’s society when our children spend an average of six hours behind an electronic device every day, we need to strive for time outdoors for kids to develop their intellectual and motor skills, social interaction, and a bit of good old- fashioned exercise through fun play.
The VNC is moving forward, and as the oldest, and only, non-profit facility in the Valley that dedicates its full mission to environmental education, we are excited about a bright future. In the next year the VNC will be building a new Nature Center facility to house a state-of-the-art interpretive exhibit hall, classrooms, meeting facilities, nature store, and operations. We hope you will take part in our excitement!

To celebrate our 25th Anniversary and to bring support for the new facility, we offer a wonderful evening of music, food, spirits, and enchanted trail walks in the nature park, complete with creatures of the night! We will celebrate many events all in one night. The evening will include delicious food on the go, guitar music softly in the background, some light moments of history, the Frances Till Junior Naturalist Award, our refurbished trails grand opening, enchanted wine and cheese torch-lit walks with nature stations, and a nature themed silent and live auction! It will be a delightful evening with much fun.
Your Support
Please consider a 25th Anniversary Sponsorship and attending THE event of the year. Your participation will bring the evening that specialness that we are all looking forward to! This is an opportunity to bring nature to our children, or better yet, bring them to nature! We hope we can count on your support.
