Join us at Trackers Earth's Bull Run Education Center (BREC)—our stunning 341-acre wildlife refuge in Sandy, Oregon—for a warm and festive community gathering. Bring your undecorated holiday tree to burn in the bonfire, or just bring yourself, and dive into the fun!

• 🔥 Bonfire Fun: Bring your undecorated, unflocked, and tinsel-free tree to toss on the fire. Participate hands-on as we ignite the flames!
• 🍫 No Tree? No Problem: Come for the bonfire, sip hot cocoa, and unwind with friends and family.
• 🍩 Cozy Treats: Enjoy hot cocoa and donettes (tiny donuts) on us. Roast marshmallows by the fire for that classic campfire vibe.
• 🐾 Wildlife Exploration: Wander the forest, look for elk, deer, or bobcat tracks, and soak in the beauty of winter.
• 🤝 Community Connection: Meet new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and celebrate with the Trackers community.

• 🎄 Tree Drop-Off: Ensure your tree is free of plastic, tinsel, flocking, or other non-natural materials before bringing it to the event.
• 🧺 What to Bring: Pack a family lunch and dress warmly for the winter weather.
• 🌳 Explore: Take time to enjoy the magic of BREC, from wandering the forest to discovering its natural wonders.

This free community event thrives on everyone pitching in—because as we like to say, "We're not your nanny!" Let’s work together to make this day a great success. Help load your tree on the tractor bucket so we can toss it into the giant fire with awesome heavy machinery. We can’t wait to see you for this fiery start to the new year! 🌟🔥

PLEASE NOTE: This time of year, outdoor burning is usually allowed, making it perfect for a festive bonfire. We’ll monitor local regulations to ensure compliance and notify RSVP’d families promptly if guidelines or restrictions change. Thank you understanding!
