Lost Springs - Film Screening and Discussion
Fri Jun 23, 6:00 PM - Fri Jun 23, 8:00 PM

Matt Keene's new documentary, "Lost Springs," chronicles the Ocklawaha River's hidden springs that return to life every three to five years when there is a drawdown at Rodman Reservoir, which--along with the George Kirkpatrick Dam--is part of the defunct Cross Florida Barge Canal. Filmmaker Matt Keene, springs artist Margaret Tolbert, boat captain and environmental activist Karen Chadwick and St. Johns Riverkeeper Lisa Rinaman will share stories about the beautiful lost springs and the fight for their restoration.

This event is funded in part by Visit Gainesville Alachua County, FL.

Parking is available at the museum, at the law offices of Folds & Walker, and across the street at the Kirby-Smith Administration Building at 620 E. University Avenue.
