SUMMARY:Stardust! Summer Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Stardust: It’s literal. It’s metaphorical. And when it touches us\, it’s magical! \nSoaring trees. Tranquil vistas. Gardens full of natural beauty and life. Let the magic of Stoneleigh awe and inspire you as we gather for Stardust—Natural Lands’ annual summer celebration—to help raise awareness of and support for our mission. \nThe secret to Stardust’s magic? Being outdoors on a beautiful summer evening—wrapped in a stunning conserved landscape—for cocktails\, a roving supper\, and much merriment under the stars. \nBut 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. \nSo\, 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.
