The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ (ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ) invites area businesses to become corporate sponsors of A Forest of Lights, its beloved annual holiday light exhibit at the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Nature Center. Each season, thousands of lights transform the Nature Center into a winter wonderland, drawing over 13,000 visitors from late November through early January.
“A Forest of Lights is a perfect example of something ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ does beautifully — giving people an easy excuse to be outside in nature together, with friends and family, in a way that inspires wonder and play” said Emily Boren, Director of Marketing at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. “This time of year, it just happens to be under a magical set of lights, bringing brightness to the darkest time of year.”
Corporate sponsorship of A Forest of Lights does more than support a cherished community tradition — it broadens a sponsoring organization’s visibility and positions it as a conservation leader in Vermont and New Hampshire. Sponsorship dollars help fund ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’ research, wildlife rehabilitation, and environmental education programs, which work together to create stewards of the region’s natural beauty and ecological health.
Corporate sponsor benefits include:
- Use of the Neale Pavilion for a holiday party, including a private night of A Forest of Lights
- Early-bird access to A Forest of Lights tickets for all employees
- Featured logo on social media
- Featured logo on A Forest of Lights social media posts (4+ times)
- Logo included on sandwich boards at the Nature Center
