The Extraordinary Caterpillar - Film Screening
Public Welcome Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation
Join us for a free film screening featuring some amazing caterpillars on the big screen.
In partnership with Sustainable Frederick, Friends of Worman's Mill, and Homegrown National Park.
Synopsis:
Over 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes.
A note from Homegrown National Park: Caterpillars are the engine of food webs. They feed birds, support pollinators, and keep ecosystems thriving. By restoring native plants, we restore caterpillar populations—and that’s at the very heart of our mission.
Meet the Supporters before the event and enjoy refreshments.
