"Division Street" Documentary on Earth Day, April 22 at Norfolk Library

Aton Forest and the Norfolk Conservation Commission are pleased to host a showing of the important documentary "Division Street." This film describes the tremendous impact roads have on the planet, resulting in habitat fragmentation and disrupting the movement of wildlife. Filmed throughout North America, the documentary takes us on a road-trip that includes some of our most exquisite National Parks, including Banff National Park, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and the Everglades. Examples of the "greening" of our highway system are shown that hold promise for preserving wildlife corridors.
 
The event will be held at the Norfolk Library on Earth Day, April 22 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The film will be preceded by a short talk by Professor Tom Tyning, author of the "Stokes Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles." Professor Tyning will also answer questions after the documentary.
