The ºÚÁÏ¿Æ (ºÚÁÏ¿Æ) invites area businesses to become corporate sponsors of A Forest of Lights, its beloved annual holiday light exhibit at the ºÚÁÏ¿Æ Nature Center. Each season, thousands of lights transform the Nature Center into a winter wonderland, drawing over 13,000 visitors from late November through early January.
“A Forest of Lights is a perfect example of something ºÚÁÏ¿Æ does beautifully — giving people an easy excuse to be outside in nature together, with friends and family, in a way that inspires wonder and play” said Emily Boren, Director of Marketing at ºÚÁÏ¿Æ. “This time of year, it just happens to be under a magical set of lights, bringing brightness to the darkest time of year.”
Corporate sponsorship of A Forest of Lights does more than support a cherished community tradition — it broadens a sponsoring organization’s visibility and positions it as a conservation leader in Vermont and New Hampshire. Sponsorship dollars help fund ºÚÁÏ¿Æ’ research, wildlife rehabilitation, and environmental education programs, which work together to create stewards of the region’s natural beauty and ecological health.
Corporate sponsor benefits include:
- Use of the Neale Pavilion for a holiday party, including a private night of A Forest of Lights
- Early-bird access to A Forest of Lights tickets for all employees
- Featured logo on social media
- Featured logo on A Forest of Lights social media posts (4+ times)
- Logo included on sandwich boards at the Nature Center
