Born to Rewild–East and West
with John Davis
Sunday, December 2, 4:00 pm
Richmond Free Library Community Room
Outdoor adventurer and conservationist John Davis will show Born to Rewild, a short film about his amazing 5,000-mile, human-powered (bike, hike, horseback and paddle) exploration of the Western Wildway, and talk about what he discovered and how the lessons of that trek apply to the East. John set out on this epic conservation adventure from Mexico to British Columbia to experience the land as wildlife experience it and found a landscape that is fraught with barriers, but which is also being miraculously stitched back together. John will also talk about his 7,600-mile Eastern Wildway trek on foot, bicycle, and boat from Florida to Quebec, and highlight some rewilding opportunities for our region–in particular, the need to restore catamounts.
A resident of Essex, NY, John Davis is the editor of the website Rewilding Earth and the author of Split Rock Wildway: Scouting the Adirondack Park's Most Diverse Wildlife Corridor.
