WAYNESBORO—The Institute is sponsoring a raffle for a grand prize of a private naturalist-guided group hike for five people along the Appalachian Trail, including lunch and a set of professional hiking poles.
The raffle is a fundraiser for The Institute. The winner will arrange the summer hike date with naturalist Pam Rowland, The Institute’s director of education.
“Pam’s knowledge and expertise will ensure that the group will discover unknown treasures along the trail,” said Jessica Watson, Institute assistant director. “As your guide, she will share a wealth of stories and information about wildflowers, wildlife, trees and other plants and the magic of forest ecology.”
After the morning adventure, hikers will enjoy a picnic-style, packed lunch catered by Café del Sol.
Raffle entries are $20, and multiple entries are welcome. To enter the raffle online, visit The Institute’s website at www.natureandcultureinstitute.org.
