Wings of Life Viewing
Bee City, USA in Lynchburg, VA hosted the viewing of Disneynature’s, Wing’s of Life, March 8th & 9th at the Academy Center for the Arts. Sunday, the viewing was free and open to the Lynchburg and surrounding areas. Monday, Blue Ridge Conservation invited sixth graders from local schools to view the movie. There was also information and native seed packages provided and sponsored by BRC.
“I thought that this was an excellent opportunity for the kids. It ties directly into science when students learn about plant pollination, plant parts, photosynthesis, and life cycles. The students really seemed to enjoy being able to attend this and most feedback I got from them was positive. Thank you again for putting this together!”

THANK YOU - THANK YOU!”

“Thank you so much for inviting New Vistas School to watch Wings of Life. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to enjoy a well made film in such a nice venue - a historic part of our community, as well as learn how all life is interdependent and relative to plant, floral, animal, and insect life on our precious planet. I personally was engaged by the cinemaphotography. Also, I thought you might like to know that we had some open discussions with the students after the movie. You may be pleased that many of them reported after leaving the theatre that they were wanting to plant vegetable and flower gardens, clean up trash in the community, build roof-top gardens, etc. in an effort to enhance and support life. I believe your efforts were successful in reaching our students with such a meaningful presentation. We sincerely thank you.”
