Bernalillo County Open Space Supporters,

 

Spring is in the air and everyone is busy as bees, but make sure not to miss out on the events we have in store for you this May.

 

Leopold Legacy Film Competition, Extended Deadline to May 13th

Amateur and professional filmmakers alike still have a chance to participate in the Leopold Legacy Film Competition. This is a great way to continue to celebrate earth day by highlighting our local environmental heroes. Winners will receive a cash prize and chance to show their film on the big screen. Categories include both youth and adult filmmakers. See the attached flyer for more information and visit the following website to upload your film at www.leopoldlegacyfilms.com.

 

Outdoor Screening of Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time preceded by the Leopold Legacy Film Competition Award Ceremony on May 20th from 7:30-10:00pm at the Gutierrez-Hubbell House

If you did not get the opportunity to see the world premier of Green Fire last February, don't miss this event. We will screen this inspiring film about Aldo Leopold's life outdoors, under the stars, at the Gutierrez-Hubbell House. We will start the evening by acknowledging the winners of the Legacy Film Competition and learning about our current day environmental heroes. This event is free and open to all. Please RSVP by emailing calangan@bernco.gov.

 

Backyard Farming Series: Living Gracefully with Insects on May 21st from 10:00am-2:00pm at the Gutierrez-Hubbell House

Discover how to attract beneficial insects with insectory plants and deter pests without using harsh chemicals. Also, create habitat by building wood burrowing bee houses, and learn how to harvest your own honey as a TopBar beekeeper. See the attached flyer for more information, and RSVP by emailing calangan@bernco.gov.
