See “Dirt! The Movie” with Northern Kane County Wild Ones
On Thursday, Jan. 22, the Northern Kane County Wild Ones will meet for its first meeting of 2015 with popcorn and a movie. The meeting will begin with "meet-and-mingle" at 6:30 p.m., followed by the movie at 7 p.m. at Christ the Lord Lutheran Church, 12N462 Tina Trail in Elgin.
The movie, "Dirt! The Movie," is 2009 American documentary inspired by the book "Dirt: the Ecstatic Skin of the Earth" by William Bryant Logan. This movie was an official selection for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and won several awards. The movie explains how the dirt used for good or ill is a much more delicate and essential bio-resource than many think. Locations around the world are visited to explain dirt's critical function at all levels.
Join Wild Ones members at the the Great Backyard Bird Count at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, in Dundee Township. Meet at the back of the Dundee Public Library parking lot, 555 Barrington Ave., for an hour walk to count birds. Dress for the weather.
