About Our Auction

WANDER THE WILD is the Highlands Center for Natural History’s signature annual fundraising event. ALL PROFITS from the auction directly fund youth educational programs which enrich 10,000 children annually and provide scholarships for children and elementary school classes to attend outdoor programs based on exploration and discovery at our site in the Prescott National Forest.

This year's auction will be a hybrid event which begins with an online auction running from September 12 to 17th at noon, and ends with a live auction on September 18, 2:30 to 5:30 pm at the Windmill House in Chino Valley, Arizona! Participants unable to attend the live auction can place proxy bids to continue competing for items at the live event.

The auction features outdoor experiential packages, travel to exciting destinations near and far, educational field trips, nature inspired works of art by local artists, and much more! With local, regional, national, and international experiences and destinations, the auction offers something for everyone! There are even several raffle items available with tickets at $5.

A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU, our generous sponsors, donors, and bidders, for your enthusiastic support of our auction and the youth educational programs at the Highlands Center for Natural History! The variety and quality of donated items is amazing, and our gratitude is heartfelt. We can't do it without you! WE APPRECIATE YOU to the moon and beyond!
