Green Fire and Restoration Discussion

Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Chicago, IL
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
6:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Come see a free screening of Green Fire, the new documentary about famed conservationist Aldo Leopold, followed by a discussion of restoration work in Illinois.

The Wetlands Initiative and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum are co-hosting the showing. TWI senior ecologist Gary Sullivan and U.S. Forest Service staff will then discuss their ongoing work at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, the largest restoration project in the Chicago metropolitan area, and how these efforts intersect with Leopold's message about our responsibility to the land.

Light refreshments will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the movie and discussion. Learn more about the Green Fire film here.
