Laursen Bear River Preserve, North Auburn

Join us for a pie potluck! Come at 1pm for an optional one-hour Open Preserve Day. Bring your walking shoes, binoculars, camera (no dogs or bikes, sorry) and wander the preserve. If you’re just coming for the pie — and who isn’t?! — we’ll start the potluck at 2pm.
You can bring a pre-sliced pie to share (sweet or savory) but it is not required. Upon arrival you will receive two drink tickets to enjoy the wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages we will provide. Additional beverages will be available for purchase. This is a family-friendly event, and we will have some games on offer for all ages. Please bring chairs or a picnic blanket and dress for success (that is, outdoor weather)!
RSVP by March 15th via the link below, or call Elia at 530-887-9222 ext 110.
FAQs
