CHICKEN FLICK – BACKYARD CHICKENS FOR ALL
WED, FEBRUARY 8, 7PM REFRESHMENTS / 7:30PM PROGRAM
Imagine your breakfast omelet made from your own fresh, organic, Omega-rich eggs! Come watch “Chicken Flick”, a short film made by local environmentalist filmmakers Nikki Coddington and Susan Rubin. You will meet four Westchester County families who are enjoying the fun and benefits of raising chickens in their own backyards. After the film, you can ask questions of the filmmakers and the panel of local chicken owners – You may even walk away ready to take up this easier-than-you-think, fun and profitable hobby yourself! Chicken Flick was made by Coddington and Rubin at the Jacob Burns Film Center and Media Arts Lab on behalf of Transition Westchester, a grassroots initiative that seeks to build community resilience. This program will be held at the Nature Center in partnership with the Sierra Club Lower Hudson Group. FREE

WILD UTAH – PROTECTING UTAH’S REDROCK WILDERNESS
WED, MARCH 14, 7PM REFRESHMENTS / 7:30PM PROGRAM
Come take a 20-minute journey through Redrock splendor by watching a multi-media slideshow documenting citizen efforts to designate public lands in southern Utah's spectacular canyon country as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. There will also be a presentation on the status of the Utah wilderness movement – including the current effort to protect the Greater Canyonlands region – by Jackie Feinberg, National Grassroots Organizer for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. This inspirational and informational event is a must see for people wishing to become personally involved to make a difference in this tremendous American public lands conservation effort. "Wild Utah: America's Redrock Wilderness" was made possible through the generous donation of photos, music and words from concerned Utahans who wish to pass this heritage onto future generations, including narration by Robert Redford. This program will be held at the Nature Center in partnership with the Sierra Club Lower Hudson Group. FREE

The Greenburgh Nature Center's community weekend events, environmental forums, public programs and nature education programs are supported, in part, by Westchester County Parks and the Town of Greenburgh.
