Standing Trees Film Night: “Understory: A Journey Into the Tongass”
January 27, 2022 @ 7:00 pm
Thursday, January 7th @ 7 p.m.
With special guest Natalie Dawson, Alaska conservation leader and star of the documentary.
Alaska’s Tongass National Forest is ground zero in the fight over how to manage our last remaining old growth and roadless forests. But did you know that New England’s temperate forests share a great deal in common with Alaska’s when it comes to storing forest carbon, and that we face similar threats to our own roadless wildlands?
Join Standing Trees on Thursday, Jan 27th for a film screening followed by a conversation with Natalie Dawson, Director of Audubon Alaska, an accomplished wildlife biologist and educator, and a leading advocate for forest protection.
“Understory” follows Natalie and two other women who set sail on a 350-mile expedition through the Tongass National Forest. Along the journey, they explore how clearcut logging in this coastal rainforest could affect local communities and the future of our planet.
