Upcoming Events at The Fox Environmental Center
Saturday, January 14, 7-11 p.m., The Fox Barter Bash and Fondue Dip-Off: Bring cool stuff from home that you know is interesting, but you are no longer interested in: That antique clock you used to love, the Monet print you never hung, those great clothes that no longer fit. You know what we're talking about. Pack that stuff in a box and meet dozens of new people who also brought their cool stuff, then barter, swap, and trade following our highly organized system that makes the evening super fun, stress free, and a great success. Did we mention fondue? Yup -- in addition to soft drinks, wine, and beer offered for a modest donation -- you can sample myriad fondues and vote for your favorite. The Fox Barter Bash and Fondue Dip-Off is a "must attend" event. Cost is only 20.00 per table of two, so bring a friend, or for 10.00 you can set your stuff up at a larger shared table, or you can steal the show with your very own table, just 15.00. Buy your tickets securely on PayPal now, or reserve your tickets by calling 610-419-0218 or sending us a message through naturecenter@gbfox.org. A "YES" on our Facebook will not guarantee you a table. All proceeds benefit environmental action.
Huge Sale
The Fox's gift store,"Gertie's Gifts,” is holding a Post-Holiday Sale where EVERYTHING with a winter or holiday theme has been marked down because it must be sold to make way for Spring merchandise. All items have a nature, outdoor, floral, or animal theme, like the line of hand-crafted floral hair pieces and the scientific games and toys in the store’s children’s section.  “Gertie’s Gifts features antique and one-of-a-kind items for family, children, friends, and even your pets. Lots of great nature-themed books, and of course all proceeds benefit clear environmental causes: wetlands and floodplain restoration, long-term water quality research, and flood protection.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Gertrude B. Fox Environmental Center is environmental action and education in the City of Bethlehem and Monocacy Creek watershed. We tackle pressing environmental problems including flooding, erosion, wetland destruction, pollution, climate change, invasive species, and loss of biodiversity. While caring for the historic mill we adaptively restored, our work at the center fosters creative environmental education, long-term research projects, best management practices, and hands-on restoration to protect natural resources in our rural, suburban, and urban communities.
