Join us for an opportunity to watch "Path of the Panther" followed by a panel discussion with local conservationists

Join UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County, SunCoast Friends of the Florida Master Naturalist Program, and Big Waters Land Trust as we host a movie screening of the documentary "Path of the Panther." The movie will be followed by a panel discussion with local conservation professionals including Brie Ondercin, Sarasota County Land Acquisition Coordinator; Brooke Langston, Big Waters Land Trust Director of Land Protection; and Jim Strickland, representing Strickland Ranch, Blackbeard’s Ranch and Vice Chair of the Florida Conservation Group."Drawn in by the haunting specter of the Florida panther, a wildlife photographer, veterinarians, ranchers, conservationists, and indigenous people find themselves on the front lines of an accelerating battle between forces of renewal and destruction that have pushed the Everglades to the brink of ecological collapse. In a struggle resonating across the globe, the panther’s habitat has become an island. Its lush territory transformed into subdivisions. A paradise vanishing into thin air. Perched on the edge of extinction, the panther is an emblem of our once connected world. A vision of what could be again. Or else, a harbinger, of what could befall our planet, if the "Path of the Panther" becomes a dead end." ~Carol Harada, Mill Valley Film FestivalSchedule for the evening:Doors open at 5:45pm, event starts at 6:00pm.6:00-6:10pm - Welcome and Introductions from our hosts6:10-7:45pm - Watch "Path of the Panther"7:45-8:00pm - Break and refreshments8:00-8:15pm - Introduction of panelists8:15-9:00pm - Conservation panel Q&amp;A until 9pm Participants under 16 years old must attend with a parent or guardian.
