The Annual Wilderness Spirit Award Brunch

This year's affair will be held in The Grand Ballroom at the Marriott Hotel in Buellton, on Sunday, May 19th 2024, 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m..

Don't miss out on a beautiful morning filled with can't-miss auction items, live artist demonstrations, wine pull, incredible food and drink, and of course, a unique chance to support our mission to inspire stewardship of nature through art and education.

This year, we will be honoring the Community Environmental Council (CEC) with the Wilderness Spirit Award, as well as the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians with the Sustainability Award.

All proceeds from our fundraiser support our ability to provide unique exhibitions and programs, free school tours and free admission for children!
