A Time to Celebrate our Public Lands

By: Lauren Berutich

Get Inspired to Act! These words were like songs to my ears as I read the description of the film, Earth Days: The Seeds of a Revolution. The film is a documentary by Robert Stone that chronicles the first decade of the environmental movement. Do the names Udall, Ehrlich and Carson ring a bell? No, they are not a law firm. They are the names of pioneers involved in the environmental movement throughout history. Learn more about them when you join us to celebrate stewardship on public lands next month!

What can you do to make a difference? Join us at the Orpheum Theatre on May 11th from 5:30-8:00 pm. There will be music by Flagstaff's local favorite, Karna Otten, lots of tasty foods to graze, and numerous partnerning organizations to meet with. Learn more about how you can volunteer to preserve the immense natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Colorado Plateau by visiting with groups such as the Grand Canyon Youth, Black Mesa Water Coalition, and many more.

Don't be late! It's going to be a packed evening. Doors open at 5:30 for food and networking. Film screening at 6:00. This event is FREE and open to the public. For more information on this event and our organization visit our website or call 928-774-7488. We look forward to seeing you there.
