Audubon has a plan to beat the Summer heat. The 'Audubon At Home' Nature Film Series. This new series features 18 of the most innovative eco-documentaries created in recent years. Organized around three themes: Bird Conservation, Conservation Heroes: Today & Yesterday, and the Sustainable Food Movement, this six-day film bonanza will certainly provide much food for thought. So join us for this unique ‘fund’ and ‘awareness’ raiser that is co-hosted by & Analiese Paik, the founder of The Fairfield Green Food Guide - the source for all-things edible, green, organic and local.
