About the event
Come see FLUDDLES- a new documentary film from the producers of The Magic Stump. We are so excited to team up with the Champaign County Audubon Society to present this showing. Additionally, we will be joined by filmmaker Bob Dolgan to share behind-the-scenes information on the project.
“FLUDDLES chronicles the wildlife of agricultural wetlands of Illinois. Sometimes simply described as “big puddles,” fluddles appear in the spring and fall and provide habitat and forage for a diversity of waterfowl and shorebird species. FLUDDLES takes viewers on a journey to these secret, oft-fleeting wildernesses in a time when Illinois has lost 90% of its original wetlands. FLUDDLES features those who enjoy the beauty of wetlands while showcasing the movement under way to construct more wetlands, which provide critical habitat, reduce flooding and erosion, and help to ensure healthier waterways.”- Turnstone Impact
Following the film showing, we will conduct a short membership meeting to update our members on the status and upcoming projects of Grand Prairie Friends. This is a free event and all are welcome!
