The International Wildlife Film Festival concludes its season with “The Forgotten Coast: Return to Wild Florida,” a captivating film that highlights the need for wildlife protection in Florida.
The evening opens at 6:15 with the mellow, bluesy rock music of Kim Monroe. Films will begin at 7 p.m.
The evening’s feature, “The Forgotten Coast: Return to Wild Florida,” (56 min.) follows the journey of bear biologist Joe Guthrie, conservationist Mallory Dimmitt, and photojournalist Carlton Ward Jr. as they undertake a thousand-mile quest following in the footsteps of a wandering Florida black bear. Their trek takes them along an unexplored wildlife corridor stretching from the Everglades to the Florida-Alabama border and into the habitat of iconic Florida wildlife including manatees, alligators, and the red-cockaded woodpecker. Most importantly, their quest reveals how essential this corridor is for the survival of the animal inhabitants of this fragile ecosystem.
Also playing: “The Bee Hunter” (8 min.) lets us ride shotgun with an Oregon beekeeper as she captures her biggest swarm yet.
Tickets are available at Mendocino Book Company or at the door for a $10 suggested donation for adults and $5 for children.
