Film Screening: Mira Lloyd Dock - A Beautiful Crusade
to
Wernersville Public Library 100 N. Reber Street, Wernersville, Pennsylvania 19565
Please join us for a Pennsylvania’s Conservation Heritage: Telling the Story documentary film screening about Mira Lloyd Dock in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. A volunteer from the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation will lead the discussion afterwards.
In 1899, women were seen not heard - but not Mira Lloyd Dock! A Progressive Era activist, she helped rescue Harrisburg from filth and pollution. During her service on the Pennsylvania Forest Commission, one million acres of forest became reserves. She was the first woman in the world to be appointed to a public forest commission and the first woman to hold job in PA government, either appointed or elected.
Light refreshments will be served.
This film is for all ages, but ages 10+ will get the most from it.
