CHEVY CHASE, MD – The Audubon Naturalist Society is proud to announce the April 25, 2019 premiere of The Land of Woodend, which covers Native American, African American, European American, and Latino American experiences on the 40-acre property that’s been home to ANS for 50 years and is the focus of its new Nature for All movement.

The Land of Woodend explores 400 years of history, mystery, beauty, blight, restoration and transformation on this diverse urban nature sanctuary. It reveals how the nature education, advocacy, and conservation organization is renewing habitats and strengthening ties to nature with communities in the DC region through a remarkable restoration effort that includes a forest, stream, pond, meadows, native plants, an accessible trail, mansion upgrades, and more.

The Land of Woodend showtimes are 2 – 3:30 pm (Matinee) and 7 -8:30 pm (a special Conservation Café presentation). Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here.  The hourlong documentary was produced with the help of a grant from Heritage Montgomery and produced and directed by ANS’s Staff Videographer Ben Israel.
