Step into the hidden history of the Chesapeake Bay watershed at the Goose Creek Association and Land Trust of Virginia Environmental Film Night, featuring the documentary Water’s Way: Thinking Like a Watershed, produced by The Bay Journal.

Once shaped by millions of beaver ponds, wetlands, and forested streams, the Chesapeake region was designed to slow, spread, and naturally filter water as it flowed toward the Bay. Over time, development, agriculture, and stream channelization disrupted these systems—leaving behind what scientists call an “ecological amnesia” about how watersheds once functioned. This powerful and visually engaging film explores how restoring natural elements like beavers, trees, and wetlands can help repair these processes and improve water quality today.

Before and after the screening, connect with local conservation professionals to learn more about watershed health and practical, community-based ways to support restoration efforts close to home. Light refreshments will be served.
