Engaging, entertaining, educational - Environmental films in Athens, Georgia.

Freshwater rivers, lakes, and wetlands are among our most imperiled and estranged ecosystems. How do we share the beauty and diversity of freshwater life with those who may not think of these waters as ecosystems? How do we share the need and importance of aquatic conservation efforts when many of us cannot see or identify with what we might be saving? Jeremy Monroe (Hidden Rivers of Appalachia) will present some of the challenges and opportunities in raising aquatic awareness among a broader constituency, and suggest some approaches that might invite more of our neighbors down to the river. To learn more about Jeremy’s work, visit www.freshwatersillustrated.org. Jeremy's films will be screened again during the festival on Saturday, March 22nd at 12:30pm.
