Join us for our annual Pie Party! This special event is for Placer Land Trust members to come together and celebrate our wonderful community!
Saturday, March 15
2pm – 4pm
(optional hour to explore the preserve starts at 1pm)
Laursen Bear River Preserve, North Auburn
(directions will be emailed upon registration)
It’s a pie potluck! Sweet, savory, or pizza pie – enjoy a slice or five with old friends and new! Come at 1pm for an optional open preserve hour (details below). Wander the preserve at your own pace to build up that appetite. If you’re just coming for the pie —and who isn’t?! — we’ll start the potluck at 2pm.
This casual event includes classic yard games to enjoy, a short program to share Placer Land Trust updates and answer questions, and beverages available on site! At check in, you will receive two drink tickets to enjoy the wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages provided. See the FAQs below for details, pie guidelines and what to bring.
RSVP by March 12th via the link below or call Elia at 530-887-9222 ext 110 with any questions.
