The Ogden Nature Center is hosting its Wildwoods BASH, an annual fundraiser which supports the Nature Center’s mission to unite people with nature and nurture appreciation and stewardship of the environment.
 
The public is invited to come out and show their support for nature education in our community, while enjoying a beautiful evening outdoors.  The event includes a gourmet dinner prepared by some of Ogden’s favorite foodies, live music by The Blue Sage Band and an auction of outdoor gear, experiences, art and gifts – all inspired by nature.  This fun, casual party is held in Ogden Nature Center’s backyard glen.
