Join us on Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at our Outdoor Classroom in Cheat Lake for an evening of fun, friendship, and conservation! Your ticket includes dinner and hors d'oeuvres from Sweet Southern Smoke BBQ and The Lakehouse Restaurant (both meat and vegan options available); drinks; desserts from Toni's Tastee Treatz; and a chance to meet the non-releasable ambassador birds who reside at our Outdoor Classroom.
And our popular live and silent auctions and raffles are back this year! We have some AMAZING items for guests to consider, including:

This is a three-day, four-night birding experience in the heart of West Virginia's New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, at a popular festival that sells out early every year. In addition to lodging, package includes meals, guided birding trips with transportation, evening presentations, t-shirt, and happy hour. Winner chooses either Sunday to Wednesday or Thursday to Sunday, April 26-May 3, 2026. Don't miss out on this one!
