We've got some piping hot tea ☕️

In the form of a secret, of course!

It's the secret that the entire Ton has been pondering, "What will the theme be for this year's Annual Holly Ball Gala?"

So, make haste and call up your favorite Modiste, grab your dance card and suitor-oops, we mean husband, don your favorite gala attire 💃 🕺 and save the date for:

A Royal Holly Ball 👑
The Social Event of the Season

Tickets go on sale: Wednesday, October 14 at GenevaLakeConservancy.org for this limited and highly anticipated event. We hope to see you there in your most regal attire.

And that's the tea! ☕️

In honor of the first day of October, we're sharing some fall photos of our public preserve: Hermansen Woods off of Lake Como.
Hermansen woods is a 15-acre woodland that has undergone extensive restoration to restore the native woodland habitat.

From access on South Como road hiking through the preserve to Red Chimney Road is a quick 15 minutes with gorgeous views and small hills.

Time to take flight!
Great Blue Herons are beginning to migrate south mid-September to October, with some staying as late as November.

Did you know that Great Blue Herons have feathers on their chest, referred to as the "powder down" which they use to remove fish slime and other oils? These feathers continuously grow, which breaks down into a dust and works it into other feathers on their bodies for cleaning.

Wave bye if you see them as they journey south, some as far as the Caribbean!

Happy first day of autumn!
