ALL are warmly invited by the Friends of SLNC Board and SLNC Staff to celebrate 60 incredible years of Silver Lake Nature Center and look ahead to an exciting future!

Join us alongside SLNC’s Volunteers, Members, Board, Staff, Friends, Supporters, and Community as we honor six decades of connecting people with Nature and celebrate the future of this special place.

This milestone anniversary promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration, entertainment, and celebration. Participants will enjoy a reception/social hour featuring ‘light bites’ and beverages, special guests, memorabilia, and surprises. The evening will also offer opportunities to reconnect with some of the people who have helped shape Silver Lake Nature Center over the past six decades, forge new friendships with fellow Nature enthusiasts, and celebrate the shared memories and lasting connections that make this SLNC community so special.

We are honored to welcome Robert “Merce” Mercer, retired Director-Naturalist of Silver Lake Nature Center, as our featured presenter. Merce served as Director-Naturalist for 40 of SLNC’s 60 years, and his reflections and stories will highlight the rich history and enduring legacy of SLNC.

The evening will also feature an outstanding live performance by renowned musicians from Al Mikula’s Big Band Ensemble – also performing as the “Speak Easy Saints” and the “Red Garter Orchestra!”

This special anniversary celebration is also a fundraising event benefiting the nonprofit Friends of SLNC organization. Through their partnership with the Bucks County Parks & Recreation Department, the Friends of SLNC provide vital support for environmental education, summer camp, community programming, conservation initiatives, trail improvements, visitor experiences, and much more.

Proceeds directly benefit the nonprofit Friends of SLNC organization and help ensure that SLNC continues to educate, inspire, and connect people with Nature for generations to come.
