WEF WEEK 5 - WEEK 12
Wellington International is proud to host an amazing group of local and global environmental organizations at the venue as a way for WEF to give back and have the incredible equestrian community learn more about sustainable causes near where we live and find out ways we can help.
Brought to you by Wellington International in collaboration with Carbon Hoofprint, we are excited to bring you “Sustainability Saturdays” as a series of educational and interactive displays on-site at a dedicated booth each Saturday, starting on Week 5 and running through Week 12. In collaboration with these organizations, we aim to instill sustainable awareness in our community as well as provide education and inspiration for the next generation on these important topics.
