Program Description

Event Details

Peek into the world of nature’s tiniest superheroes in The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.

From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference. Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park. This program is co-sponsored by the New Canaan Pollinator Pathway partners: The Glass House, Grace Farms, New Canaan Beautification League, New Canaan Department of Public Works/Parks Department, New Canaan Garden Club, New Canaan Land Trust, New Canaan Library, New Canaan Nature Center, Norwalk River Watershed Association, Planet New Canaan, Waveny Park Conservancy.
