Nature as Teacher Preserve is incredibly grateful to Duke Energy for sponsoring our Coffee by the Creek Days 2026!

Your generous support helped make these special community gatherings possible, giving families, friends, and neighbors the opportunity to slow down, be intentional, connect with one another, and enjoy the beauty of nature right here at the Preserve.

Because of your generosity, we were able to provide meaningful opportunities for more than 450 participants to explore, learn, and build a deeper connection with each other and the natural world. From conversations over coffee to creekside discoveries and time spent together outdoors, every Coffee by the Creek Day was made more special because of your support.

Thank you, Duke Energy, for investing in our community and helping us connect our communities to nature through wonder and exploration.

We are so grateful for your partnership and your continued commitment to making Kershaw County a better place! Energy
