Become a VINS Corporate Sponsor
VINS has come a long way since we set about restoring the Ottauquechee watershed in 1972. Since then, we’ve introduced a generation of school children, teachers, parents and adults to the beauty of nature and helped thousands of injured birds return to the wild. But our work today is more important than ever.
Your corporate sponsorship doesn't just support our mission—it positions your organization as a conservation leader in the Upper Valley, funding the environmental education that creates stewards of our region's natural beauty and ecological health.
We are currently revamping our Corporate Sponsorship opportunities for 2026. Keep an eye on this page, or send us an email at development@vinsweb.org to join this vital work.
Thank You to Our Corporate Sponsor
A Forest of Lights
A Forest of Lights transforms the Vermont Institute of Natural Science in Quechee into a winter wonderland each year, where thousands of lights illuminate the Nature Center's trails and Forest Canopy Walk. Visitors can stroll through magical displays then warm up by a campfire with hot chocolate and snacks. The displays draw inspiration from Vermont's natural landscape and wildlife, creating an immersive celebration of the region's winter beauty.
This popular annual tradition attracts roughly 13,000 visitors each season and runs from late November through early January on select evenings. Beyond providing magical winter entertainment, the event introduces many first-time visitors to VINS and deepens connections to the outdoors during the colder months.
Corporate Sponsors for our 2026/2027 exhibit will be available in late summer 2026. Keep an eye on this page, or send us an email at development@vinsweb.org to learn more.
