Naturally Yours
It's Free Movie Night
Join the Natural Areas Program staff for popcorn and the
movie Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of
Great Predators.
Birds, butterflies, beaver, pronghorn, wildflowers, and frogs — is their survival connected to top predators like wolves and mountain lions? This captivating documentary goes behind the scenes to explore how top predators help to restore and maintain ecosystems and biodiversity. This movie explores the role of great carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature, and a society just now learning tolerance for the beasts they once banished.
Free and open to the public, Tuesday, November 16, 7:00-8:00 p.m. at the Community Room, 215 North Mason. Enter through the north door.
