Be one of the first to experience In Our Nature - a powerful new documentary that shines a light on the growing movement of environmental education in Kentucky and nationwide. Hear interviews from KAEE members Ellen Prusinski and Tina Brouwer. At the heart of the story is Red Oaks Forest School, one of many inspiring examples from Kentucky of how nature-based education is transforming the lives of children and families. In Our Nature is a celebration of curiosity, resilience, and the educators working to ensure every child in Kentucky has the opportunity to learn in - and from - nature.

EVENT PROGRAM
ABOUT IN OUR NATURE
Filmed across the US, In Our Nature explores how nature - and those who teach with it - can be some of our most powerful forces for reconnection in a divided world. Three character-driven stories bring this to life: from sustainable, off-grid flower farms transforming South Side Chicago, to a bipartisan forest school in rural Kentucky, to a healing-in-nature program for grieving military families in San Antonio. The film reveals why nature belongs at the heart of what it means to be educated, and why environmental education is more essential than ever. Learn more at www.inournaturemovie.com.
"A moving tribute to our field..." - Judy Braus, Executive Director, NAAEE
Hosted in partnership with the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE), this exclusive pre-release screening honors the communities and changemakers at the heart of the film. The evening includes a vibrant community showcase, reception with local leaders, a special advance screening of In Our Nature, and a live Q&A with the filmmakers - joined by Red Oaks Forest School founder Tina Brouwer and youth featured in the film.
100% of ticket proceeds support Red Oaks Forest School and the Kentucky Association for Environmental Education.
This Lexington event will feature live music by Jeri Katherine Howell — award-winning singer-songwriter, cultural producer, and environmental educator. Jeri cultivates creative experiences that inspire us to live in complex and caring relationship with one another and the planet. Her compelling performances connect and rejuvenate audiences, centering vulnerable lyrics, dynamic vocals and guitar, and a grounding Folk/Americana sound. Nat Colten will join her on harmonies and banjo. Explore Jeri Katherine's new album, Woman, on Bandcamp and wherever your music streams, and connect at jerikatherinehowell.com.
