Membership

Giving Circles

Giving Circles members make generous contributions to Bernheim’s mission of connecting people with nature.

As a Giving Circles member, you belong to a community of people protecting and stewarding the forest. All of the benefits of a Household membership and a special Bernheim gift are included as well as opportunities to learn and engage with initiatives directly supported by your gifts.

Gifts made by Giving Circle members throughout the year of membership accumulate towards the next level.

 

The Bernheim Membership Desk, located inside the Visitor Center, is open daily from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.  Phone: (502) 215-7155

Learn more about membership by reading our Membership FAQs, or contact Membership for additional information.
