2 Movie Nights at the Cache--Is That a Skunk? 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm First Thursday of the Month, 7pm - 9pm Location: Cache River Wetlands Center Grab your family and friends for a relaxing evening with your fellow nature lovers. Movies about nature will provide viewers of all ages with a fun way to learn about the outside world. This year’s movie series theme will be, “Game Species: More Than Just Food”. We will focus on the natural history of hunted species found within the Cache River watershed in order to better understand their role not only in our ecosystem, but within our everyday lives. The AmeriCorps staff will hold a short discussion about the movie after each session. Don’t miss this monthly opportunity to appreciate nature with the local community. For more information, call the Cache River Wetlands Center at (618) 657-2064. Movie Nights at the Cache--Is That a Skunk?
