Join Standing Trees and the Middlebury College Sunday Night Environmental Group for a screening of the new film "Crown Jewels" to learn more about the value of mature and old-growth forests, and the fight to protect them. "Crown Jewels" explores the plight of old-growth forests on federal lands, the activists working to save them, and opportunities for action this fall. Environmental activist Alex Haraus and cinematographers Aidan Kranz and Elena Jean spent the last year exploring some of the last remaining ancient forests on public lands in the United States. These forests — mature and old-growth forests — offer one of our best natural defenses against the impacts of climate change. But these carbon-storing powerhouses are so much more than that. There will be a brief Q&A and discussion after the movie.
