Join us for our very first documentary film club! Find the same sense of community and conversation as Ridges Reads Book Club, but with educational documentaries instead! We’ll show one documentary per meeting, then discuss what we watched. This year, we will show four documentaries highlighting wetlands and the importance of wetland conservation. Camp chairs and snacks are welcome!
