Calling all Members: You're Invited in 2026!
Join our member community for an outdoor summer gathering with fellow members and friends as we share food, celebrate local environmental champions, and connect with the beauty of Bear Valley (and places you love)!
What to Expect:
Potluck Picnic Kicks off at 11:00 AM – We will provide self-service sandwich and drink stations, and ask members to bring side dishes (think salads of all kinds, desserts, etc.). Check in with our team and grab a nametag, then visit the sandwich station with refreshing drinks and place your potluck side on the table (please bring a serving tool and mark your items with your name so we can get them back to you). This is a zero-waste event, and we will provide dishes and cups, but feel free to bring your own.
Membership Meeting & Environmental Awards Ceremony at 12:30 PM – Includes a welcome from Executive Director, Ashley Eagle-Gibbs, member business and board elections, and our award ceremony, where we honor community individuals who have shown outstanding service to our coast and community. As a member of EAC, you will have the opportunity to vote for directors up for a new term or reelection.
Mingle, Eat, and Connect 1:00 - 2:00 PM – Stick around to eat and get to know our team and other community members.
Limited Naturalist Hikes 1:30 - 3:30 PM
We look forward to celebrating with you, our dedicated members, whose support makes our work possible!
