Over a dozen people showed up at the May GWAPA meeting. After enjoying some pizza and drinks, we watched Freshwater Illustrated’s new film, Hidden Rivers. This feature film explored the rivers and streams of the Southern Appalachian region, North America’s most biologically rich waters. The film followed the work of conservation biologists and explorers throughout the region, and revealed both the beauty and vulnerability of these ecosystems.

Viktor Gyorffy will host our May meeting on Saturday, May 18th at 1:00pm at his home in Gaithersburg, MD.  Our talk this month will be a screening of Freshwater Illustrated’s new film, Hidden Rivers.
