Earth Talk: Screening of Gasland
Come see the Academy-Award nominated documentary film that everyone is
talking about!
The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in
history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling
technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a
"Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe?
When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on
a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination.
A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to
light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and
astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite
travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part
showdown. FREE. Discussion to follow. Location: Carslake
Community Center, 209 Crosswicks Street, Bordentown City. Sponsored by the

Earth Talk: WILD NEW JERSEY Presentation and Author Signing
Wild New Jersey is a description of David Wheeler's whirlwind year-long tour of the
most ecologically diverse state for its size in America. Along with the expert
guidance of charismatic wildlife biologists and local conservationists, he
explores mountains, valleys, beaches, pine barrens, caves, rivers, marshlands,
and more-breathtaking landscapes and the state's Noah's Ark of fascinating
creatures. This isn't your ordinary ride on the Jersey Turnpike. Fasten your
seatbelts and join Wheeler as he...
-Kayaks through the Meadowlands under the watchful eye of the Empire
State Building,
-Pans for cretaceous fossils in a hidden brook once home to mastodons
and giant sloths,
-Rides a fishing boat in the frigid snows of winter on a high-seas quest
for Atlantic puffins,
-Trudges through the eerie darkness of a bog on a mysterious night hike,
-Dogsleds across the windswept alpine slopes in the haunts of the
porcupine and bobcat.
With
Wheeler's compelling narrative, in-depth background details, and eye for
revealing the offbeat, you can count this as the first nature book to paint the
extraordinary picture of New Jersey's unlikely wilderness in all its glory.
Come along for all the adventure and insight in Wild New Jersey!
FREE.
Mr. Wheeler will talk about and sign
copies of his book, which will be for sale (cash only). Free raffle for cool
