MALVERN, Pa. — Penn State Great Valley will host a community screening of "Backyard Wilderness," a film about the unexpected wonders of nature and wildlife in suburban backyards, at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 3, in Musser Auditorium.
Spanning a seasonal year around a suburban home, the film displays a stunning array of unique wildlife images and behavior and reminds viewers that Wi-Fi is not the only connection that matters. Ordinary places can hold extraordinary things that can transform observers when they simply step outside. Community members may view the film's trailer here.
A panel discussion on the importance of native plants in maintaining watershed health, building climate resilience, and creating habitat for birds and other wildlife will follow the film.
This community event is free and open to the public and is presented in partnership with Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, Audubon Mid-Atlantic/John James Audubon Center and Valley Forge Park Alliance.
Guests are invited to register here.
