Stardust! Summer Celebration

June 6 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Stardust: It’s literal. It’s metaphorical. And when it touches us, it’s magical!

Vast meadows. Expansive views. Wooded hills. Abundant wildlife. Let Bryn Coed Preserve awe and inspire you as we gather for Stardust—Natural Lands’ annual summer celebration—to help raise awareness of and support for our mission.

The secret to Stardust’s magic? Being outdoors on a beautiful summer evening—wrapped in a stunning conserved landscape as far as the eye can see—for cocktails, a roving supper, and much merriment under the stars.

But the night-of experience is only part of the magic. Natural Lands’ regional mission to provide land for life and nature for all is vital. And your sponsorship or ticket purchase will advance our highest priorities for saving open space, caring for nature, and connecting people to the outdoors and each other.

So, join us for the fun of it all. But know that your support has an impact, and together we will make a difference. Today. And forever.

about the property

In 2017, Natural Lands protected a 1,505-acre mosaic of forest and farmland known as Bryn Coed—which means “wooded hill” in Welsh. In doing so, we saved one of the largest remaining unprotected swaths of land in the greater Philadelphia region from becoming a housing development.

Bryn Coed Preserve has three parking lots, all of which are paved. The event organizer will let you know where to park for your specific event.

  • The main parking lot (1869 Flint Road) has 38 spaces. The gate closes at dusk; it opens automatically to let cars out.
  • The Beaver Hill Road parking lot has 11 spaces. The gate closes at dusk; it opens automatically to let cars out.
  • The Miller Road parking lot has five spaces.
