You are invited to the premiere screening of the film, EVER GREEN, about community commitment to keep Whidbey Island a special place, and the important role played by Marianne Edain, Steve Erickson and the Whidbey Environmental Action Network [WEAN] to help make that happen.
The open fields of Greenbank Farm, forest trails of the Saratoga Woods, re-population of native plants at Pacific Rim Institute, and reduction of toxic roadside spraying are just a few of the results of WEAN’s work and its collaboration with other island groups. These efforts have made a huge difference in retaining the rural character of the island.
On April 1, 2022, a WEAN lawsuit prevailed in a court case that prevents the Navy from training in Washington State Parks.
EVER GREEN, A Community Conservation Story, was produced by Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young of Moving Images in Clinton, WA. The filmmakers drew on compositions from Whidbey musicians as part of the background music for the film.
Admission to the October screening is free. Donations to Whidbey Environmental Action Network will be gratefully accepted.
