Conceived as a visitor’s center film for Yellowstone National Park, The Bird and The Tree tells the story of one of nature’s great duos and how two very

Along the South Atlantic Coast of the United States, seas are rising at accelerating rates and salt marsh ecosystems cannot keep pace without a pathway to higher ground. The South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative (SASMI) has created a regional plan that is the pathway to the protection, restoration and migration of salt marsh.

In this primer, dive into what is happening regionally and why allowing and creating pathways for marsh to migrate is vital to its survival, as well as our own. This is the first video in

In Restoring Habitat Connectivity, see on the ground efforts taking place in coastal Florida – once ditched and dying marshes are seeing restored tidal flow and successful connection to already protected uplands. This is the
