A Community Film Screening of Between Moon Tides

A new documentary by filmmaker Jason Jaacks, Between Moon Tides tells the story of a remarkable bird and the people working to protect it. Filmed at Jacob’s Point in collaboration with the Saltmarsh Sparrow Research Initiative and with permission of the Warren Land Trust, the film offers a rare glimpse into the delicate balance of life in the saltmarsh.

In a ribbon of saltmarsh in Warren, RI, an intergenerational group of citizens is working to postpone the extinction date of the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammospiza caudacuta) by developing a strategy to prevent nests from flooding due to rising tides —one nest at a time.

The community film screening will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with members of the Saltmarsh Sparrow Research Initiative:

Deirdre Robinson, Steve Reinert, Joel Eckerson, and Cooper White
