On Saturday February 22 at 2 PM the Environment Council
of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Natural History Survey will host the third
Rhode Island Nature Video Festival in Doody
Auditorium in Swan Hall on the University of Rhode Island campus in
Kingston.
The event
started as a way to see what kind of nature videos were being made in Rhode
Island by Rhode Islanders and this year there were submissions by 15 film
makers and the show includes 25 short videos.
The focus is on scenes in nature and includes trail camera videos, nest cam videos, tours through natural areas of Rhode Island, drone videos, narrated videos showing wild animals doing amazing things and a video showing sunrise and sunset colors along the shore

Founder Greg
Gerritt noted, “I started making nature videos about 8 years ago and after a
few years I wanted to see what others were doing and compare notes and
techniques.
“We showcase fabulous RI videos, and we also bring the video makers together to talk videos, and answer questions from the audience. It is a great way to spend a wintry Saturday afternoon while we wait for spring to return much of the life to our countryside and parks. “
