Every year in early summer, the town of Chilliwack, British Columbia comes alive with Western toads crossing roads during their annual migration from wetlands to woods. It’s a perilous journey. Enter the “Toad People,” families who are working together to protect their neighborhood amphibians. This uplifting film is a story about hope, community, and everyday people taking action for wildlife in their own backyards. Following the film, Harris Center Science Director and local Toad Person Brett Amy Thelen will be on hand for questions, and to highlight several local conservation initiatives that relate to what you’ve seen on the big screen. Watch a trailer here.

Thursday, May 3, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Putnam Theater at Keene State College. Free of charge. For more information, contact Brett at (603) 358-2065 or by email.

Cosponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education, the Monadnock Conservancy, and the Keene State College Film Society.
