Land Conservation Celebration

Here's a fun event for the whole family! On Saturday, May 31, the Land Conservation Celebration will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Redlair Farm & Forest, 144 Redlair Lane, Gastonia, NC. It presents activities for young and old, hikes through pristine woods, and opportunities to see incredible natural wonders found in the Piedmont. Look for live music, local artisans, community groups, antique tractors, renewable energy displays, scavenger hunts and geo-caching. The event also offers archeology digs, hayrides, storytellers and singers, and live animals from the Schiele Museum. Kids' activities include a bouncer, arts and crafts, games, and face painting.

The celebration is brought to us by the Catawba Lands Conservancy. Their Annual Meeting will be held there at 11 a.m. This nonprofit land trust permanently protects land, water, and wildlife habitat in North Carolina's Southern Piedmont and Lower Catawba River Basin.
