Bee Haven Biodiversity Celebration
2026-08-24 17:00 - 19:00
Join Your Neighbors at the Bee Haven Biodiversity Celebration!
At JONAH, we believe hope grows when we come together — and few things spark hope like neighbors gathering to care for the gift of Creation. This summer, JONAH invites you and your family to the Bee Haven Biodiversity Celebration:
Monday, August 24 | 5:00–7:30 PM
Phoenix Park, Eau Claire
Free · All ages · No registration
Delightfully presented by the Chippewa Valley Biodiversity Partnership alongside the Eau Claire Area Master Gardeners, Beaver Creek Reserve, the Eau Claire Children’s Museum, and DECI, this family-friendly evening brings nature home with live music and a kids’ bee dance, food trucks and free Olson’s ice cream, hands-on nature stations (caterpillars, moths & butterflies; fish of the Chippewa River; birds on the move; water critters; building backyard habitat; and native plant advice), a photo booth, games, and a kids’ “Busy Bee” passport & prizes.
As members of JONAH, this is our moment to live out our shared call to be good stewards of the Earth and to build relationships across our community. Come learn simple ways to nurture pollinators and native habitat right where you live, and bring a neighbor along — advancing hope, one backyard at a time.
