Location: USM’s Hannaford Hall

Join us and other area conservation groups for a film screening of A Peace of Forest, the first feature-length film celebrating Maine wildlife. This intimate portrait of common and uncommon wildlife in a 70-acre parcel of woods in Whitefield, Maine, is sure to leave you feeling restored and inspired. It is a sneak peek into a hidden world of wonder that occurs daily in the Maine woods, but we are rarely fortunate enough to witness. View the film trailer here.

Doors open at 6:30. Meet your local land trusts and learn about their current projects before the film starts. The film is 90 minutes long and will be followed by a 30 minute Q&A with filmmakers and wildlife advocates Thomas and Lee Ann Szelog.

Tickets can be purchased here. Because we don’t want cost to be a barrier, there are also free tickets available, but registration is still required.

Event cohosts are: Falmouth Land Trust, Portland Trails, Presumpscot Regional Land Trust, Freeport Conservation Trust, Cape Elizabeth Land Trust, Scarborough Land Trust, Oceanside Conservation Trust, South Portland Land Trust, and the Maine Land Trust Network.
