Forest of Mystery
October 23, 2025 - October 25, 2025

Every October, Bonnyvale’s forests and meadows come alive with outdoor theater, transforming into a spectacular world of the imagination. Staged in a dozen scenes along torch-lit trails that meander through fields and into the dark woods, “travelers” move through this otherworld in a quest to save nature. Their participation in each scene uncovers the intricacies of the quest, which culminates with a bonfire of revelation at the summit of Heifer Hill.
Forest of Mystery is BEEC’s biggest community event and fundraiser. Last year we welcomed over 500 people to Heifer Hill! Your participation supports our work, including school programming, community & youth programs, wildlife rehabilitation, land conservation, and citizen science initiatives.
