Dinner and a Movie: Reimagining Fire (Ages 15+, Under 18 with Adult)

Friday, October 20               Dinner: 6-7 pm                 Films and Discussion: 7-9 pm

Fire affects us all, from this past summer’s wildfires in northern Michigan to Canadian wildfire smoke affecting Michiganders’ air quality. But what can we learn from fire and can we ever learn to live with it? Begin your evening with a delicious dinner inspired by fire. Then, join us in learning about humans’ relationship with fire with the films Wilder Than Wild: Fire, Forests, and the Future and Oshkigin Spirit of Fire. Following the films, Stewardship Manager Mary Parr will lead us in a discussion the Institute’s relationship with fire and how we can “flip the script” and reimage fire from a destructive to a constructive force of nature.

Please register by Friday, October 13, to reserve a dinner.
