Vital Forests Film Series and Panel Discussion

The new, four-part documentary series on PEI’s forest ecosystems, Vital Forests, will screen at Beaconsfield Carriage House in Charlottetown on December 17 at 7 pm.

Created by Eric Edward, director of the MacPhail Woods Ecological Forestry Project, Vital Forests explores coastal, riparian, wetland, and upland forests. Combining interviews with experts and stunning footage, each film guides the audience through one unique ecosystem— showcasing the best examples that remain, the species at risk that call them home, their beauty and abundance, and the challenges they face. A panel discussion will follow, with the experts featured in the film offering space for questions, dialogue, and community conversation. The event is presented in collaboration with Macphail Woods Ecological Forestry Project, Nature PEI, and PEI Woodlot Owners Association.
