Blue Mountain Television presents the premiere screening of The Secret Life of the Desert: Deserts of the Pacific Northwest at Gesa Power House Theatre on Sunday, May 22 at 3:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. Each screening will be followed by a short Q&A with the filmmakers.
The Secret Life of the Desert: Deserts of the Pacific Northwest is a series dedicated to discovery and education of the vast and complicated desert regions that host many hundreds of species of plants and animals that live in stunning landscapes that most folks will never get to see. All these living organisms survive because of relationships, dependencies and arrangements in the most arid places here in the spectacular Pacific Northwest.
Come with us as we explore these deserts from San Juan Island, Washington to Lookout Lake, Oregon and many sites in between east of the Cascade Mountains. Witness the great yellow eyes of a Long-eared Owl, the stunning beauty of a blooming Hedgehog Cactus and the bright orange spots on a gravid female Short-nosed Leopard Lizard. Take this opportunity to discover how and why these desert areas are outstanding treasures and deserve your care and attention.
