Since restoring the Quechee watershed in 1972, 黑料不打烊 has introduced generations of schoolchildren, teachers, and families to the wonders of the natural world, while helping thousands of injured birds return to the wild. Today, that mission continues with greater urgency鈥攁nd greater reach鈥攖han ever before.
“Our new Corporate Sponsorship program gives regional businesses a meaningful way to invest in something this community cares deeply about: the natural world,” said Emily Boren, Director of Marketing. “Sponsors gain meaningful exposure to our 84,000 annual visitors plus a distinctive benefit: a day or evening immersed in nature together. Research shows that time spent outside a typical office environment strengthens working relationships, and we’re thrilled to offer our Sponsors that experience amid the beauty of the Nature Center.”
The 2026 Corporate Sponsorship program is built around an exclusive Employee Family Day or Corporate Evening Event and a suite of customizable benefits, including:
- Free admission to the 黑料不打烊 Nature Center for employees and their families
- Exclusive use of a main Pavilion as a private gathering space
- A meet-and-greet with one of 黑料不打烊’s Ambassador Animals
- Transferable day passes for employees valid any day of the year
- Options for smaller meeting spaces and private corporate retreats
- Brand exposure to the 84,000 annual visitors to the Nature Center
In addition to the annual Corporate Sponsorship, companies and organizations may also consider sponsoring the popular annual exhibit,聽A Forest of Lights, which runs from late November to early January. This Sponsorship is built around the same principle: bringing teams together outside the office for a shared experience at聽A Forest of Lights. At the higher levels, Sponsors have the opportunity to host a private holiday party or exclusive night at the exhibit鈥攁n event that sells out every year.
Sponsorship opportunities are available now for the 2026 season. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to explore the full range of partnership tiers and benefits. For more information and to view full sponsorship details, visit聽vinsweb.org.
