The Extraordinary Caterpillar: Film Screening and Discussion (in-person)

We’re hosting a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems, to celebrate Pollinator Week.
From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.
Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.
What you’ll get:
Inspiring stories about why caterpillars are essential to healthy ecosystems
Simple steps you can take to create habitat in your own yard or community
A chance to ask questions during a live Q&A*
Free handouts to help you take action right away*
This is a chance to see nature in a whole new light—and to be part of the movement to bring it home. We hope you’ll join us.
