 ACRES offers a wide variety of programs designed to provide greater awareness and enjoyment of natural areas. ACRES events and programs are open to the public - you do not have to be an ACRES member to participate. All programs are offered free of charge unless otherwise noted in the description. Choose an upcoming event and join in the fun!
Notify the ACRES webmaster if your group has an activity planned on an ACRES preserve, and the event will be added to this web page. Art·ol·o·gy is an exciting collaborative exhibition presented by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and ACRES Land Trust emphasizing the convergence of the visual arts and the natural world.
Twenty area artists were commissioned to respond to an ACRES preserve in a variety of media and methods. The stunning result will travel to five cities across northeast Indiana from January through October 2010. The exhibition will culminate in an auction and sale to honor the 50th Anniversary of the
ACRES Land Trust.

ACRES celebrates its 50th Anniversary with a Blue Jean Gala.
A gala unlike any other, this one is casual. Blue jeans, Carhartts, sweatshirts, hiking boots and tennis shoes are the dress code. Don't even think about dressing up!
No need to worry about the weather. There is plenty of room in the barns and tents if it rains.
This is a ticketless event. We will have your name on the registration list that will be at the gate.
You will be given a name badge and details for the event at that time.
Your Paypal receipt is your confirmation of payment received for this event.
If your schedule does not allow you to attend, donations in honor of ACRES 50th Anniversary will gladly be accepted!
