The Power of One Screening & Tree Planting

Pizza and popcorn will be served before the screening, and after the film, you will have a chance to hear from Alex Valdez and Pablo De la Fuente, the two young, acclaimed documentary filmmakers behind the film/pilot and UC Davis faculty.

Meeting at the Putah Creek Lodge on the UC Davis campus at 9:30 am, alongside the Learning by Leading™ Urban Tree Stewardship team, plant native trees and understory plants to enhance wildlife habitat in the UC Davis Arboretum!

The Power of One was created by two young filmmakers inspired by a seemingly unremarkable yet profoundly determined man who took it upon himself to reclaim a desolate section of rainforest in Colombia. Over many years, and with little more than his own hands and vision, he rebuilt a verdant and thriving ecosystem—one tree, one day, one seedling at a time.
