Growing With The City - short documentary

A filmmaker begins diving in over 120 years of history downriver from Washington, DC, and meets a century long Biologists Field Club fighting to protect Plummers Island, ‘the most thoroughly studied island in North America’ from the growing needs of the capital. For over 120 years, biologists have been forging history and scrutinizing the island’s thousands of species of plants, insects and wildlife on one of the DMV’s last wild areas.
