Festival Schedule
The evening will kick off at 6:30 PM with networking and beer sampling from Newtown Brewing Company, a member of the Audubon Society’s Brewers for the Delaware River Association.
At 7:30 PM, several short films will be screened that highlight issues such as the impact of people on bird migration, our connection to the Delaware River, and the importance of native plants in keeping our water clean and providing habitat for birds.
Following the film screening, a panel of experts will discuss these issues and how local residents can help protect local resources. Confirmed panelists include:
Beth Brown (moderator), Audubon Pennsylvania’s Director of the Delaware River Watershed Program
Filmmaker Bruce Byker James
Diane Smith, Director of Education for the Bucks County Audubon Society
Zack Greenberg, Senior Associate for The Pew Charitable Trusts

Newtown Township and Newtown Borough officials will also be present to share news about local efforts to increase native plants. Several attendees will win some of the native plants that are part of the pop-up native plan garden that has been installed outside the theatre.
This is event is co-sponsored by the Newtown Theatre and the Newtown Native Plant Project, an initiative of the Bucks County Audubon Society, Newtown Township Environmental Advisory Council, Newtown Borough, Audubon Pennsylvania, and Newtown volunteers.
