Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire Documentary Film Screening (Adults In-Person)

Join us at the library for an after-hours screening of this important film. After the movie concludes, we will hear from representatives of the Whatcom Conservation District’s Wildfire Preparedness team and the Whatcom Million Trees Project about ways to protect our homes in the event of an approaching wildfire.

Elemental takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. We follow the harrowing escape from Paradise as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire’s start. We learn from Native Americans as they employ fire to benefit nature and increase community safety as they have for thousands of years. We follow researchers who work to understand the effects of climate on forests and the crucial role that natural forests play in storing vast amounts of carbon.
