Wild Excellence Films announced their film Cathedral: The Fight to Save the Ancient Hemlocks of Cook Forest will be shown at a benefit film event at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center in Erie on April 13, at 7:00 p.m.
Cathedral tells the story of the battle to save the beloved ancient hemlock trees of Cook Forest State Park, which are under attack by an invasive insect, the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.
Cathedral includes interviews with park staff and is narrated by Old-Growth Forest Network founder Joan Maloof.
The film takes the viewer on a journey through the forest in all seasons and shows the important work being done by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry.
The benefit event includes speakers from DCNR, a Q&A session, and a raffle of Anthony E. Cook’s book The Cook Forest: An Island in Time. There will be a suggested donation of $5.00 per person to attend.
Proceeds from the event will go to the PA Parks and Forest Foundation’s Fund for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid treatment as well as educating the public about the issue in Cook Forest State Park.
