“The Extraordinary Caterpillar” Film Screening – REGISTRATION FULL
Saturday, July 18, 2026, 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Location: Independent Picture House (4237 Raleigh St, Charlotte, NC 28213)
TO KICKOFF NATIONAL MOTH WEEK, we invite you to join us for a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar! This powerful film reveals the essential, yet often overlooked, role caterpillars play in sustaining life on earth. Featuring leading voices like Doug Tallamy, Sam Jaffe, and David Wagner, the documentary illustrates how caterpillars are the engines of the terrestrial food web, feeding birds, supporting pollinators, and keeping ecosystems thriving. Thus, highlighting the urgent need for native plant and habitat restoration in our own yards.
Moth Night at TAG
Friday, July 24, 2026, 8:30 pm – 11:00 pm
Location: Tuckaseegee Arboretum & Gardens (701 Tuckaseegee Road, Charlotte, NC 28208)
Join the North Carolina Wildlife Federation Charlotte Wildlife Stewards Chapter and City of Charlotte Landscape Management for an exciting night of mothing, led by City Arborist and entomologist Laurie Reid! As the sun goes down, we will have lights and sheets set up to attract our native moths, and you’re certain to see some moths you’ve never seen before. Not only are moths great pollinators; they are also an important food source for breeding birds!
Our programs and events are free and open to everyone.
Monthly educational programs run September through May and are offered in-person at Sardis Baptist Church and online. Occasionally we have a remote speaker in which case the program will be online only.
Other events such as creek cleanups, guided nature walks, birdhouse installations, invasive plant removals, and more are held across the Charlotte area and provide a fun, family-friendly way to connect with nature.
Stay up-to-date by signing up for our monthly newsletter.
