Film Screening

Picture of a green caterpillar.

When

Sunday, April 19, 2pm

What

In honor of National Native Plant Month, we’re hosting a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.

From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.

Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.

The film’s director, Jeff McKay, will be available for a virtual Q & A after the film.

Cost

Tickets are $5 each.
