Buffers and Brews

Join us for a morning of coffee and conservation. Savor a cup of our Watershed Blend Coffee, a special collaboration brew made in partnership with Ryder's Cup Coffee. Afterward, we'll take a leisurely walk to the nearby Packard Estates and Winchester Dock Association buffer gardens, where we'll explore how native shoreline buffers help protect Chautauqua Lake by reducing runoff, improving water quality, and supporting local wildlife.

Help us reduce waste by bringing your favorite reusable coffee mug.

Intended Audience: Adults
Price: Free
Registration: Registration appreciated, walk-ups welcome
Special Notes: Please wear comfortable footwear. The walk is approximately 1 mile round trip and follows a combination of sidewalk, road, and grass terrain. The first quarter mile includes a slightly steep downhill grade. If you prefer, you're welcome to join us for coffee and conversation and then drive to the Buffer Garden location before the educational program begins.
