Co-hosted with Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve
The historic Newtown Theatre will screen “Hometown Habitat – Stories of Bringing Nature Home” on Tuesday, January 17 at 7:30 PM.
Following the documentary, Laurie Cleveland, Executive Director of the Sourland Conservancy, will be available to discuss the film and answer questions.
Hometown Habitat profiles seven hometown habitat heroes and shares their inspiring commitment to conservation landscaping. Narration is provided by renowned entomologist Douglas Tallamy, PhD, whose research, books and lectures about the use of non-native plants in landscaping sound the alarm about habitat and species loss.
The documentary was filmed over a two-year period by producer/director Catherine Zimmerman, who traveled around the country with a film crew to find hometown habitat heroes and capture their inspiring stories of community commitment to conservation landscaping. The message is inspirational and simple – all of us have the power to support habitat for wildlife and bring natural beauty to our patch of the Earth.
As Executive Director of the Sourland Conservancy, Cleveland works to protect the unique history and ecology of the Sourland Mountain Region of central New Jersey. She is a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist and leads the Conservancy's “Sourland Stewards” program to educate and encourage private residents to use native plants to enhance the beauty of their property and the health of their ecosystem.
