Buy Raffle Tickets
You do not need to be present to win if you buy tickets for one of our raffles! See below around the time of our special events and we'll have a listing of what we've got to offer and directions for how to buy tickets. For an idea of the kinds of prizes we usually have in our raffles, see Thanks for a list of our most recent donors.

Donate Goods and Services
Local businesses and individuals are welcome to donate goods and services for our raffles. Our raffles often have a "living lightly" or "outdoor fun" or "go local" focus, so donations that highlight these themes are particularly welcome. To contribute to the Haunted Hike raffle in October or our special event in the spring, email us at info@nearbynature.org. You are welcome to send your contribution to Nearby Nature in the mail. We will also happily pick up your contribution if that is more convenient. See Thanks for a list of our most recent donors.
