About this Event
All proceeds from Into the Wild will directly support our ongoing efforts to protect and restore Houston's tributary ecosystems.
Embark on a journey to protect Houston's wildlife: one tributary at a time. Bayou Preservation presents Into the Wild on Thursday, May 2nd at The Ballroom at Bayou Place to celebrate the remarkable flora and fauna that grace our bayous and wetlands — and the vital work we undertake to preserve these precious ecosystems.
This year, we're turning our focus to the unsung heroes of Houston's bayous: the tributaries and smaller waterways. These crucial channels sustain the diverse ecosystem of our bayou system, ensuring that both wildlife and communities thrive. Just like these essential waterways, Bayou Preservation thrives on focused, impactful efforts: we prioritize local initiatives that directly benefit Houston communities.
We are thrilled to announce Carrigan Chauvin, CW39 Houston's meteorologist and traffic anchor, will join us as the emcee for Bayou Preservation’s Into the Wild Gala! Originally from neighboring Louisiana and now a vibrant part of the Houston community, Carrigan brings her unique perspective and expertise in weather science to our event.
Immerse yourself in a captivating atmosphere where themed decor and entertaining activities will transport you to the heart of the wilderness. Meet fellow conservation enthusiasts, indulge in delicious food and drinks, and learn about the diverse tapestry of life thriving in our city's tributaries and waterways. Unleash your wild side (it's optional!) by sporting your most creative interpretation of wilderness formal attire. Plus, don't miss our exciting game of bingo, where you could win an amazing mystery grand prize from plant store!
We are dedicated to being accessible to the communities we serve and reaching a wide audience. That’s why we’ve worked hard this year to make our gala more accessible than ever with lower, affordable ticket prices – ensuring that everyone has the chance to support our vital mission. And for those looking to elevate their impact, VIP ticket bundles and sponsorship opportunities are available with exclusive perks and recognition. Your participation directly supports our fight to make a big difference for the “smaller” corners of Houston's wildlife and communities!
