Rhode Island Nature Video Festival to be held on February 20

Free and on-line on Saturday

Greg Gerritt 

The Rhode Island Nature Video Festival, organized by the Environment Council of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Natural history Survey will be held on line on Saturday February 20 at 2 PM. 

Videos were submitted by Rhode Islanders from across the state and a panel of distinguished judges has selected one hour of videos highlighting Rhode Island nature. 

Everyone interested in attending is encourage to register for this free show at https://www.environmentcouncilri.org/content/2021-ri-nature-video-fest 

The event will be hosted live on the RI Natural History Survey Facebook page and all of the videos will also be available after the show on the Environment Council of RI website   https://www.environmentcouncilri.org/

An innovation this year is that after the show there will be an opportunity to vote on line for your favorite videos as we award the first People’s Choice awards. 

Greg Gerritt, the administrator for the Environment Council and the nature video maker behind Moshassuckcritters started the event 6 years ago to see who else was creating nature videos in Rhode Island. 

“I am really happy the event continues to grow and evolve, and that we are now partnering with the Rhode Island Natural History Survey.  I help collect the videos from the people submitting them, and everyone is in for a real treat.  From Backyard to Backwoods the videos cover the state, and even the videos that will not be shown on Saturday but will be available on the Environment Council website after the show are well worth watching.  “
