Mission Statement

Founded in 2009 for annual celebration of Broadlands becoming the 25th “Certified Wildlife Habitats Community” by National Wildlife Federation in May 2008, this event’s mission is also to promote environmentally, economically and socially sustainable living among county residents and businesses. This is accomplished through entertainment, exhibits, workshops and activities to engage and inspire the entire community, especially the next generation of environmental stewards. The event also creates an opportunity for local environmental organization(s) and green businesses to connect with our community.
