Black Bear EnviroFest
The Black Bear Film Festival’s (www.BlackBearFilm.com) free EnviroFest,
co-sponsored by the Grey Towers Heritage Association (www.GreyTowers.org), supports
innovative and independent films while recognizing Pike County’s history as the birthplace of
the American conservation movement.
EnviroFest will be held from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM at Grey Towers National Historic Site
(www.fs.fed.us/gt), in Milford, on Sunday, October 10 of Black Bear Film Festival weekend.
EnviroFest, coordinated by Heron’s Eye Communications (www.HeronsEye.com), offers
a diverse and provocative collection of free environmentally-focused films, dialogues and
information booths in three venues on the grounds of Grey Towers: The Pool Terrace, The Letter
Box and The Bait Box.
This year, a group of students from the Delaware Valley (DV) High School Leo Club will host a
10/10/10 celebration at EnviroFest to raise awareness about climate change. The students’ effort
is part of 350.org’s (www.350.org) 10/10/10 Global Work Party, and one of more than 3,000
actions scheduled around the world. 350.org was founded by renowned environmentalist Bill
McKibben.
“10/10/10 is a day for communities all over the world to educate people about climate change
and promote a more environmentally sound future,” says DV Junior Marygrace Kennedy, leader
of the student effort.
The students will introduce each EnviroFest film and will be stationed throughout the Grey
Towers grounds to bring McKibben’s message along with their enthusiasm. The 10/10/10
celebration will conclude at 4:30 PM with a group photo of the students and EnviroFest
attendees, which will be posted to 350.org. “The youth of our region are ready to join with the
rest of the world to tackle the issue of climate change!” adds Kennedy.
