Peek into the world of nature’s tiniest superheroes

Together, Fernwood and COL are 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.

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.

Event Details

DATE: Wednesday, August 19
TIME: 7 - 8:30 pm
LOCATION: Vickers Theatre, Three Oaks
TICKETS: $15
PRESENTED BY: Fernwood Botanical Garden & Chikaming Open Lands

Following the screening, the audience will get a chance to ask questions during a live Q&A with Dan Earl, a Michigan Natural Features Inventory zoology technician research assistant at Michigan State University

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.
