“A Journey That Never Ends: John Hay’s The Run”

Film Screening and Q&A

Rescheduled from July 15th! Join us for a screening of “A Journey That Never Ends,” a film honoring the environmentalist and nature writer John Hay. Based on his book The Run, originally published in 1959, this film follows John Hay as he revisits Stony Brook in Brewster, Massachusetts to observe the amazing annual run of the schools of alewife returning from the sea to spawn in freshwater. “Whether the migration of animals seems random, or with definite intent, it leads across the earth….As a result of a respectful regard for other animals we may find that we are being led onto traveled ways that were once invisible to us, and in their deep alliance with natural forces we find a new depth in ourselves.” After the film, we will enjoy a Q & A with Dave Anderson, Senior Educator from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and friend of John Hay.  Meets at the Pavilion. Because of COVID-19 we are unable to offer food and beverages this summer but we encourage you to please bring your own lunch.

Members: $25, nonmembers: $35. Advanced Registration is required as the event will be limited to 25 people.
