🌊 Join us for a screening of OCEAN with David Attenborough

NatureTrack is hosting a FREE screening of Ocean with David Attenborough, a stunning and award-winning documentary showing us the wonder and vitality of the ocean, its fragility, and most important, our ability to protect it.

This special screening also comes just one week after Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday on May 8, celebrating a century of inspiring people around the world to care for our planet and oceans.

This is the kind of film that shifts perspective. Discover more about the future of our ocean, and explore the role each of us can play in bringing our ocean back to life.

🍄 The Lonely Mushroom - Direcred by Dan Blackwell

Beneath the surface… there’s an entire world we never see.

The Lonely Mushroom is a visually stunning journey into the hidden life of fungi - mysterious, essential, and deeply interconnected.

Strange. Beautiful. Unexpected.

You’ll never look at the forest the same way again.

🐝 The Bees and the Birds - Directed by Olly Johnson (wildlifewitholly)

What happens when the smallest creatures start disappearing?

The Bees and the Birds takes a closer look at California’s pollinators and the people working quietly to protect them.

This one hits close to home.

It’s not just a film… it’s a reminder of how connected everything really is.

🐝 The Forest of the Honey Bees - Directed by Erwan Le Gal (.legal)

There’s a quiet rhythm to the world of bees…and a delicate balance we rarely stop to notice.

The Forest of the Honey Bees follows a beekeeper and her daughter as they move through nature with care, curiosity, and intention.

It’s soft. It’s beautiful. And it stays with you.

Grateful for the women behind the impact.

On April 17th, International Bat Appreciation Day, we gathered for a special screening of The Invisible Mammal.

A heartfelt thank you to Kristin Tièche, director of the film, for bringing this story to the screen and into our community.

And to Brittany Rickman of the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, for sharing her knowledge and helping connect the dots between film and real-world wildlife care.

This is what it looks like when storytelling, science, and community come together.

Thank you for being part of it. 🦇

They are misunderstood.
They are essential.
They are disappearing.

DID YOU KNOW? Bats eat thousands of insects every night. Without them, ecosystems and agriculture would shift dramatically.
