The Department of Energy and Environment are teaming up with National Geographic Society to host an evening of short environmental films that bring global issues into local focus. Artists, scientists, advocates, and everyday people share stories that cross boundaries and give a new voice to our planet and to our wild, wonderful city. DOEE will also release it’s third year Progress Report for the Sustainable DC Plan. Celebrate the earth, our waterways, and the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee! Learn about the BioBlitz coming to DC in May and how to get involved.
Join the conversation in a Q&A with representatives from the films:
- “A Ghost in the Making: Searching for the Rusty-Patched
- Bumble Bee” – DC premiere!
- “Nature is Speaking” – DC premiere!
- “Rules for the Black Birdwatcher”
- “The Anacostia River: Making Connections"

There will also be special announcements, and participants will receive free reusable bags and pollinator plant seeds.
This event is made possible in cooperation with National Geographic Society, Conservational International and the Xerces Society.
