I feel like ever since the COVID pandemic hit us two years ago this March, the evening fundraising events have been few and far between. Hopefully, in 2022 we will see galas and evenings of giving start to return to our social calendars. Nature on Ice is a great start to this trend.

A night of fundraising and fun for adults at the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum (HHNM) in Cornwall New York. Nature on Ice will be held on Sunday, February 27, 2022, from 4 PM to 6 PM to honor the staff of HHNM.

Nature on Ice in Cornwall, New York

This late afternoon party on ice features an ice bar with wine, beer, and warm drinks from an open bar. There will be hors d'oeuvres and a live ice carving demonstration with local artist Bill Bywater. The purpose of Nature on Ice is to celebrate and honor the HHNM education staff.
