Nocturnes— Vermont nocturnes
Program Description
Speakers from The Nature Conservancy take the lessons learned on moth migration in the Himalayas from the film, and transfer that to our own region, since Vermont is on a direct flight-path of moth migration, and is home to 476 species of moths.

Film Synopsis
In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us.
In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world.
