June 4 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Join us for a film screening and panel Q&A to learn about pollinators!
The Little Things that Run the World will introduce us to a diverse group of scientists, nature lovers, gardeners, farmers, and general bug enthusiasts in exploring the importance of flying insects amid rapid declines in their numbers. This most numerous group of animals on the planet by far—three quarters of all species—have also been called the “glue of life” on Earth. They literally hold ecosystems together.
The film documents the mysteries of the declines alongside creative and heroic human efforts to change the course of evolutionary history. What is causing this extinction crisis? What can be done to reverse the trend?
Following the film screening we will have a panel discussion with Desiree Narango and Amber Jones of the Vermont Center of Ecostudies, Stephanie Reger of Wilde Bee Farm, and Abbie Castriotta of CRAFT who runs our local native plant sale.
Free Event. Donations are welcome.
