Morganton, NC – In a time of growing polarization, Americans still share something in common: 640 million acres of public land. Held in trust by the federal government for all citizens of the United States, these places are a stronghold against climate change, sacred to native people, home to wildlife, and intrinsic to our national identity.
Public Trust, a film about the fight for America’s public lands, was produced by Robert Redford and shows us how and why these precious lands are in great danger.
In partnership with hosted by A Better Burke and in partnership with CBS Sports, watch the free 90-minute screening of this powerful film from your couch or outside at CBS Sports on Friday, October 9th at 7 pm. Please register to attend in person or online at https://www.eventbrite.com/.
We will be adhering to all state COVID guidelines, social distancing, and limiting outdoor seating to 50 people. Bring your own chairs and snacks or watch the film online.
CBS Sports located at 911 North Green Street, Morganton, NC 28655.
