American Eagle, A Nature Documentary
A showing of the 55-minute PBS Nature episode, “American Eagle,” which initially premiered in 2008. From the pristine wilderness of Alaska to the Upper Mississippi River Valley, “American Eagle” goes behind the scenes and into the nest to provide the ultimate bird’s eye view into the private life of an American icon. They are one of nature’s largest raptors, with wings that can span eight feet, and nests that weigh up to a ton. Unique to North America, the bald eagle is the continent’s most recognizable aerial predator, with a shocking white head and electric yellow beak. Yet most people know little about it beyond its striking appearance. In the 1960s, the bald eagle was on the brink of extinction caused by the pesticide DDT and other human pressures. Following their protection as an endangered species, bald eagles have come roaring back. At the Florissant Valley Branch of St. Louis County Library. From I-270 in north St. Louis County, take Exit #27 just one mile north on New Florissant Road. The library is at 195 New Florissant in Bangert Park. Questions, call Mitch Leachman, St. Louis Audubon, at (314) 599-7390.

Homeschool Special: Canoeing & Fishing The Meramec River
(Ages 10 & up) Come for a float trip on the Meramec River from Pacific Palisades Conservation Area to the Allenton Access. This 7-mile stretch of the river is full of fascinating nature to explore and discover. We’ll stop and look at the animals that call the river home and do our part to help clean it up. We’ll end the day with a fish fry at the Allenton Access. Space is limited. You must be a good swimmer and all will be required to wear life jackets for the duration of the float. Reservations begin September 16; for reservations call (636) 458-2236 (Rockwoods Reservation) Monday through Friday 8 am - 5 pm.
