RESERVING IRWP FACILITIES
As a nonprofit, IRWP aims to maintain sanctuary access for mission-aligned partners, supporters, and the community while ensuring operational sustainability of the organization. Rentals support outreach, stewardship, and upkeep of the space. The Watershed Sanctuary’s primary purpose is to preserve this valuable conservation area for the species that live there, and the Learning Center to support IRWP Events and a workspace for staff. All rentals are subject to availability, including Sponsor waived fee rentals. Please read through our rental page, guidance, and policies to see if your event is the right fit with our facilities.
