Frosted Forest: A Bubolz Holiday Weekend is a fundraiser event to support Bubolz Nature Preserve. All proceeds from the event will directly support our mission-based work of providing high-quality, outdoor educational experiences to children of the Fox Valley communities and the conservation work we do to protect all the native species that call the 725 acres of Bubolz home. Because this is a fundraiser for Bubolz Nature Preserve, there will be no refunds unless the event is canceled by Bubolz. Thank you for supporting this important work!
