EarthxFilm: Free Film Screening 'Bird of Prey' - Dallas

The Philippine Monkey Eating Eagle is a creature of both arresting beauty and staggering power. This jungle denizen is also one of the rarest raptors on the planet - just 700 individuals remain — its fate threatened by logging, hunting and other human activities. In 1977, cinematographer and raptor specialist Neil Rettig traveled to the Philippines to capture the first filmed images of the eagle in the wild, an effort that helped catapult the bird into a national symbol. Bird of Prey follows Rettig as he returns to the island nation 40 years later.

North Haven Gardens: Plants for Pollinators - Dallas

There are so many annuals, trees, vines and shrubs that provide food and habitat sources for our highly important pollinators. In addition to bees and butterflies, there are hummingbirds, bats, and many other insects that ensure the survival of plants by spreading pollen and creating habitat.

NHG's Garden Advisor Dana Wilson shows you the many options to make your garden welcome to a variety of wildlife.

Stay and join us for Designing Gardens for Pollinators at 3 p.m.
