Join us for the 30th Annual Twilight Gala on Friday, November 21, from 6:00–10:00 PM at the Junior League of Houston!

This year’s theme, “Rooted in Gratitude,” celebrates the hands that planted our mission and the hearts that carry it forward. We’ll gather in celebration of the Nature Discovery Center’s lasting impact, connecting of children and families to the wonder of nature through hands-on learning and exploration.
