You bring the picnic. We’ll provide the magic!

Pack your favorite dinner, grab a friend, and join the Conservancy for Picnics in the Park, a relaxed evening series designed to bring people together in some of the beautiful places the Conservancy is working to protect, restore, and reimagine.

We’ll set the scene with tables, flowers, lights, and plenty of atmosphere. You simply bring your own food, drinks, and good company. No catered dinner. No formal program. No fundraiser disguised as a hostage situation. Just an affordable evening outdoors with a chance to experience Conservancy projects in a completely different way.

Our first Picnics in the Park series will take place at Dragonfly Farm at Reiff Park, where guests can enjoy an evening surrounded by native plants, pollinator habitat, and the Conservancy’s growing work in ecological restoration and environmental education.

Choose your picnic experience:

Community Picnic Seating – $15
Grab a seat at one of our picnic tables and enjoy a casual, communal evening under the lights.

Private Table for Two – $50
Reserve your own intimate table for two, complete with flowers and a little extra breathing room for your picnic date.

Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to wander, explore Dragonfly Farm, and experience a little more about what the Conservancy is creating there. Picnics in the Park is less about giving you a presentation and more about inviting you into the places where our work is happening.
