22nd Annual Wonderland Auction
The Wonderland Auction is Cascadia Wildlands’ largest fundraiser of the year, and proceeds from it propel our work into the new year to keep big trees standing, wild rivers flowing, and gray wolves howling in our special region. This memorable event relies on your generosity to make it such a smashing success year after year, and we are thankful for that.

Born to be Wild
This winter, rev up your eco-friendly engines and let out your wild side. Join us for the 22nd Annual Wonderland Auction, Born to Be Wild: a full-throttle bash honoring the resilience of Cascadia’s wild ecosystems and the fierce hearts who defend them. Saturday, December 12th from 6-10 pm at The Venue in Eugene!
We cannot wait to spend this special evening celebrating the beauty and defense of the Cascadia bioregion with you.
Ride in for a night of reverie. Feast on a gourmet meal (gluten free and vegan diets will be accommodated!), raise a glass of local libations from Opine Cellars and The Wheel, and bid on treasures in our silent and live auctions (live auction called by auctioneer rockstar Tim Ream). Local live music will carry you through the night, and the wild spirit of solidarity will fuel the whole way.
We are so excited to announce that out keynote speaker Amy Bowers Cordalis, Yurok attorney, fisherwoman, mother and author of The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family’s Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life, will be joining us to share her incredible story that is sure to inspire.
So, hit the road and head out to get your tickets today – this popular event will sell out and you don’t want to miss this.
This event would not be possible without the support of our premier sponsor Mountain Rose Herbs and other business sponsors!
