Join us this weekend for the Grand Opening of Brumley Forest, our Orange County location. On Earth Day 2017, Triangle Land Conservancy opens its 7th nature preserve to the public! Bring your friends and family to the George and Julia Brumley Family Nature Preserve for a free day of led hikes, runs, mountain biking tutorials, guided trail rides, nature adventures, kids activities, yoga, and more to celebrate all the ways Triangle residents can use this new resource. Visit with TLC Partners and enjoy ice cream, food trucks, and local beer while testing your luck with raffles and contests for outdoor gear and experiences.
Schoolhouse is excited to be involved both as a partner, exhibitor, and program provider. Stop by and see us in the exhibitor area (by the food trucks!) or join us for one of our activities. No RSVP required. If you’ve been to Brumley before, parking will be located at the public entrance (not the Schoolhouse gate).
