It’s HOT in August so to combat the heat, we’re watching a movie AND taking a tour of the beautiful pollinator gardens at The Pines.  Please join us for a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.

Watch the trailer here! https://vimeo.com/1117213704

From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.

Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.

After the movie is complete, there will be an optional tour of The Pines pollinator gardens.

The Pines Nature Organzation is co-sponsoring this.  Please try to park near the main entrance. If parking is not available, follow sings to the Magnolia parking lot and come to the “green awning door”.
