Return to the Forest Where We Live
Documentary Makes the Case for Urban Foresty
and Highlights ACT Members
Baton Rouge, LA (August 14, 2008)- A new documentary from Louisiana
Public Broadcasting (LPB) examines how communities
throughout America are reconsidering how vital trees really are to the
socio-economic well-being of our cities. This program challenges
viewers to re-evaluate the critical importance of investing in healthy
urban ecosystems. Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Nia Vardalos
of My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the narrator.
By now all ACT members should have received a complimentary copy of the
documentary. Hopefully this can be another tool for spreading the word
in your
communities. The narrative aligns well with the science we already
know, since the Alliance for Community Trees, ACT members, and our
partners contributed to and participated on this project.
LPB will initially broadcast the program statewide, but the program
will be sent to PBS for consideration in the national programming
schedule. If it is accepted for national distribution, we will notify
you and ask that each of you contact your local PBS station and
encourage the programming director to place "Return to the Forest Where
We Live" in their primetime schedule.
