Upper Valley Climate Change & Sustainability Film Series
Sustainable Woodstock and Pentangle Arts Council host a monthly free screening of films and documentaries focused on Climate Change and Sustainability. We do this as a way to foster—in a fun and relaxed environment—a broader awareness of the wide-ranging issues impacting our planet and our future. We often facilitate a panel discussion after the film to explore the issues presented and how we, as individuals and communities, can engage in becoming part of the solution. The series is free and open to all. Donations are welcome.

Screenings normally take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month, which some exceptions due to holidays or scheduling conflicts.
