Idaho Museum of Natural History to Host Screening of "On Grizzly Ground"
The Idaho Museum of Natural History is hosting "On Grizzly Ground," a new wildlife film from Kris Millgate, the Emmy-nominated journalist who documented disappearing salmon across the Northwest.
“Following grizzlies is risky, but warranted,” says Kris Millgate, outdoor journalist and owner of Tight Line Media. “Greater Yellowstone bears are expanding their presence in the West so the odds of us being in their way as they make their way are going up. I want to show you how we help and hinder their recovery while also celebrating nature at its wildest.”
The film screening will be Sept. 14 at Frazier Hall from 6 to 9 p.m. This event is free and family-friendly. After the film, Millgate will host a question and answer period, followed by a reception hosted by the Idaho Museum of Natural History.
