The Champlain Valley Film Series will present the documentary film BORN TO REWILD, on Saturday, February 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall, 1610 NYS Route 22 in Essex, NY.
This powerful documentary follows Essex resident John Davis on TrekWest, his epic 5,000 mile, 8-month journey along the Continental Divide from the deserts of Sonora, Mexico to the snow-covered peaks of British Columbia. Along the way, Davis hikes, bikes, and paddles through some of the most stunningly beautiful landscapes in the world to inspire others to help connect our wild places before it’s too late.
John Davis will be the special guest at the screening to introduce the film and answer questions. Davis is also the author of Big, Wild, and Connected: Scouting the Eastern Wildway from Florida to Quebec, about his 7,500 mile journey to follow the potential path of an eastern wildlife corridor, and Split Rock Wildway: A Scouting the Adirondack Park’s Most Diverse Wildlife Corridor, a rambling look at some of the charismatic and enigmatic wildlife thriving in the wooded hills and adjacent waterways linking Lake Champlain with the High Peaks.
Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for those under 18. This season’s film series is generously sponsored by: Cablecom of Willsboro; The Deer’s Head Inn; Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness; 5 Seasons Diet; Pok-O-MacCready Camps and Outdoor Education Center.
