COOKSBURG, Pa. – Our local forests are under attack, and their future is in danger. Invasive insects, like the Wooly Adelgid, are killing our ancient hemlock trees. Fortunately, research has been developed to treat the trees and reduce the insect population.
The public is invited to learn more during the premiere of the film, “Cathedral: The Fight to Save the Ancient Hemlocks of Cook Forest,” at the Verna Leith Sawmill Theatre.
There will be two showings: July 28 and 29 at 8 p.m. each night.
Tickets are $15 each, and proceeds will benefit the Pennsylvania Parks and Forest Foundation in its efforts to prevent infestation.
Tickets are available online at www.sawmill.org or by calling the theatre’s box office at 814-927-5275.
The film is produced by Wild Excellence Films, which is devoted to the conservation of wildlife, nature and public lands.
Copies of Anthony E. Cook’s book, “An Island in Time,” will also be raffled at the event.
The Verna Leith Sawmill Theatre is part of the Sawmill Center for the Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to instructing, preserving and honoring the arts.
