A Beaver Double Feature
Join us at the historic Douglas Flat School for two short films about Beavers! FREE to the public. Donations encouraged to support Ebbetts Pass Forest Watch and the Douglas Flat Community Center. Information about the films below.
Leave it to Beavers: Scientists and environmentalists have come to
discover that beavers can transform and revive landscapes and also counter the effects of global warming just by using their
natural abilities to build and serving as hydro-engineers.
Beavers takes an intimate look at one beaver family and their
aquatic habitat puts a remarkably human face on these amazing creatures’ emotions.
Film Screening: Elemental
FREE to the public
Donations welcomed to support Ebbetts Pass Forest Watch and the Douglas Flat Community Center
Elemental takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. We follow the harrowing escape from Paradise as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire’s start. We visit fire labs where researchers torch entire houses to learn why some homes burn and others survive. We learn from Native Americans as they employ fire to benefit nature and increase community safety as they have for thousands of years. We follow researchers who work to understand the effects of climate on forests and the crucial role that natural forests play in storing vast amounts of carbon. Along the way we listen to people who have survived the deadliest fires to underscore the importance of this quest.
Burned: Are Trees The New Coal
BURNED tells the little-known story of the accelerating destruction of our forests for fuel, and probes the policy loopholes, huge subsidies, and blatant green washing of the burgeoning biomass power industry
