Upcoming  Meetings (all on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. in the Quinault Auditorium unless otherwise noted):

  •  Tuesday, March 18, 2025 –  Movie “Fly Away Home” 
    Panorama Auditorium Theater, 1:30 p.m.

    The film Fly Away Home tells the charming story of a young teenage girl’s recovery and discovery—recovery from a traumatic, life-changing experience and discovery of her own personal resilience and agency.  But it’s also a fascinating story about using ultra-light aircraft to teach migration routes to orphaned birds. 

    The film dramatizes the actual experiences of Bill Lishman, a quirky Canadian sculptor, inventor, film-maker, and naturalist.  In 1986, Lishman started training Canada geese to follow his ultralight aircraft along migratory routes.  By 1993, he succeeded in leading their migration through his program “Operation Migration.”  This pathbreaking strategy of Lishman and others led to several initiatives to teach migration to endangered species such as Whooping Cranes and the Northern Bald Ibis.  The film is enhanced by the soundtrack, which includes Mary Chapin Carpenter’s beautiful song “10,000 Miles.”

    This film received several awards, including the 1997 Environmental Media Award for best Feature Film. It also received numerous additional nominations.
