Beaver Believers Documentary Film Viewing and Q&A

Join Boulder Audubon on Tuesday, February 22 for a special viewing and Q&A of The Beaver Believers! This program will be held online, with advance registration required.

Sometimes the best solutions to the biggest problems can be found in the most unexpected places. Meet the beaver believers: five scientists and a sassy, spicy hairdresser, tackling climate change, one stick at a time.

The Beaver Believers is the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists who share a common vision: restoring the North American Beaver, that most industrious, ingenious, bucktoothed engineer, to the watersheds of the arid West. The Beaver Believers encourage us to embrace a new paradigm for managing our western lands, one that seeks to partner with the natural world rather than overpower it.

Sarah Koenigsberg is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and educator whose work focuses on stories of art, environment, and community in the American West. Her films and teaching cross disciplines, illuminating the power of storytelling as a medium through which to explore complex science and policy issues.

Dr. Emily Fairfax is an ecohydrologist and assistant professor of environmental science and resource management at California State University Channel Islands. She double majored in Chemistry and Physics as an undergraduate at Carleton College, then earned her PhD in Geological Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder.

When: Tuesday, February 22, 7:15 - 8:45 pm
