Bay Nature's 25th Anniversary Celebration

For 25 years, Bay Nature has been more than a magazine. It’s been a gathering place—for people who care deeply about the lands, waters, and wildlife that make the Bay Area home. We’re excited to invite you to celebrate our 25th anniversary milestone at the Presidio's Golden Gate Club on Sunday, April 12 from 2pm-6pm. This unforgettable afternoon will gather more than 300 conservation leaders, scientists, educators, policymakers, and nature lovers for a high-energy celebration of connection, collaboration, and shared values. It’s a rare chance to be in one room with people who don’t just care about the Bay Area’s natural world, but actively shape its future.

Expect an inspiring program and a lively reception with drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and plenty of time for conversation. You’ll reconnect with old friends, meet new partners, and stand alongside others who have helped make Bay Nature a trusted voice in environmental storytelling for 25 years. Your presence helps launch Bay Nature’s next chapter—fueling award-winning journalism, deeper community engagement, and stronger connections between people and nature. We hope you’ll join us to celebrate how far we’ve come and what we can build together next.
