SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day: The River Runs On Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:The River Runs On Film Screening | Thursday\, September 25\, 2025 from 6-8 p.m. | Aardwolf Brewing Co\nJoin us for a special screening of The River Runs On in celebration of National Public Lands Day! This powerful documentary follows conservationists in southern Appalachia as they work to protect two of America’s most treasured national forests—the Pisgah and Nantahala. Centered around the Pisgah-Nantahala Forest Plan\, the film explores the challenges and opportunities in shaping how these lands will be managed for the next twenty years. At its heart\, it is a thoughtful meditation on our relationship with nature\, our responsibility as stewards of the land\, and what the future may hold. \nGrab a beer from Aardwolf Brewing or a bite from the onsite food truck\, then settle in for the screening. After the film\, we’ll host a guided discussion connecting the themes of the documentary to our own backyard—how public lands play a crucial role in protecting the St. Johns River\, fresh water\, and the ecosystems we depend on. \nWe’ll close the evening with a call-to-action\, offering ways you can advocate for the protection of public lands here in Florida and beyond. \nCome for the film\, stay for the conversation\, and leave inspired to take action for the lands and waters that sustain us all. \nRSVP\nRSVP here for free to reserve your seat.
