TO KICK OFF NATIONAL MOTH WEEK, we invite you to join NCWF Charlotte Wildlife Stewards Chapter for a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar! This powerful film reveals the essential, yet often overlooked, role caterpillars play in sustaining life on earth. Featuring leading voices like Doug Tallamy, Sam Jaffe, and David Wagner, the documentary illustrates how caterpillars are the engines of the terrestrial food web, feeding birds, supporting pollinators, and keeping ecosystems thriving. Thus, highlighting the urgent need for native plant and habitat restoration in our own yards.
