SUMMARY:Climate Action Film and Discussion: The Extraordinary Caterpillar
DESCRIPTION:Peek into the world of nature’s tiniest superheroes. In collaboration with several climate activists in Ashland\, we’re hosting 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. This is a chance to see nature in a whole new light—and to be part of the movement to bring it home. We hope you’ll join us. \nWe’ll all watch the hour long film and then have a discussion about it\, moderated by Ashland’s own Margy Gassel! \nRegistration is requested so we know how many seats to have out. \nAbout the Film: \nOver 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs\, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes. \nHomegrown National Park is the U.S. organizer of the impact campaign for The Extraordinary Caterpillar. The film features our co-founder\, Dr. Doug Tallamy\, and shines a spotlight on the critical—but often overlooked—role caterpillars play in biodiversity. \nAlong the way\, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab\, entomologist David Wagner\, and Doug Tallamy\, co-founder of Homegrown National Park. \nCaterpillars are the engine of food webs. They feed birds\, support pollinators\, and keep ecosystems thriving. By restoring native plants\, we restore caterpillar populations—and that’s at the very heart of our mission. \nFrom 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. \n  \n\nInspiring stories about why caterpillars are essential to healthy ecosystems\nSimple steps you can take to create habitat in your own yard or community\nA chance to ask questions during a live Q&A*\n\nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library. \nSign up for our Ashland Public Library Newsletters!
