Arctic Refuge Presentation Comes to Raleigh Monday

The N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences and the Wake Audubon Society have teamed up to present “The Last Great Wilderness Project,” a multimedia slide show on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The free showing will take place on Monday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at the museum, which is at the corner of Jones and Salisbury streets in downtown Raleigh.

Started in 1987 by nature photographer Lenny Kohm, the project combines Kohm’s photographs of Arctic Refuge flora and fauna and his knowledge of the native Gwich’in people to create a powerful message for conservation.

Filmmaker Jeff Barrie will present the slide show along with clips from his documentary “Arctic Quest: Our Search for Truth," which has been broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. For more information, call the museum at 919-733-7450.
