!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

 

To Kick-off Lyme Pollinator Pathway and in honor of Earth Day 2021, you are invited to watch a free streaming of the inspiring movie Hometown Habitat – Stories of Bringing Nature Home, at your leisure. Participants can access and re-access the film throughout the three days from Friday, April 16 through Sunday, April 18. Through its profile of 7 hometown habitat heroes, this 90 minutes film shows how we can save our vital pollinators, such as bees, birds, and others. The narrative thread of this 8-part documentary is provided by renowned entomologist Douglas Tallamy, Ph.D. whose research, books, and lectures about increasing the use of native plants in landscaping, and other actions, provide solutions for habitat and species loss. Tallamy challenges the notion that humans are here and nature is someplace else.

For the official launch of Lyme Pollinator Pathway, we are offering a very special Earth Day program in two parts. A showing of the very Hometown Habitat movie and an in-person interview with the producer/director Catherine Zimmerman. For more about the Zimmerman Presentation.

Register for one or both of the events: LymePollinator@gmail.com. In the email let us know if you are registering for the 1) Hometime Habitat movie, 2) the Zimmerman presentation, or both. You will be sent a link a few days before the programs.

Lyme Pollinator Pathway was established February 4, 2021.  As part of a national effort, Lyme Pollinator Pathway aims to help Lyme neighbors and friends create and connect pollinator-friendly habitats with food sources for bees, butterflies, birds and other pollinators.

Lyme Pollinator Pathway (LPP) is an initiative of the Lyme SustainableCT Committee, which is appointed by the Lyme Board of Selectmen. Sponsors of the event are LPP,  the Lyme Land Trust, the Lyme Garden Club, and the Lyme Public Library (LPL), and the Friends of the LPL. The programs are funded by the Lyme Land Trust through a gift from the Pleasant Valley Association.
