Movie Night - Giants Rising
Saturday, November 2nd
4:00-9:00 PM
251 Kings Village Rd, Scotts Valley, CA 95066
GIANTS RISING - The Secrets & Superpowers of The Redwoods, is a new film that tells the story of the amazing life of redwoods through history, science and art. This will be a family friendly community building event. We will start with a food truck at 4:00 pm so you can grab some great food, catch up with your neighbors and meet local organizations and businesses that will help protect and beautify your home.
We'll show the film at 6:00 pm followed by a panel featuring the movie's director, a local park representative and wildfire experts.
It will be a night to celebrate the very rare opportunity of living with redwoods.
There are some scenes of wildfire so you may consider the movie to be appropriate for children over 12.
Tickets are free but limited. Donations are appreciated.

How We Work
The Forest Lakes Neighborhood Firewise and Safety Association (FLFSA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This formation was necessary in order to receive grants and donations. Our team is comprised of several board members, none of whom receive any payment. We have no employees. We rely on volunteers, donations and grants to fuel our mission.
We need to use some of the funds we raise to cover our unavoidable operating expenses such as online services, accounting and insurance.
Our Projects
Thanks to a Cal Fire grant our first major project will be to make our primary neighborhood exit route much safer by creating shaded fuel breaks and removing hazardous trees along Lakeside Drive. This work will not begin until the spring as we need to properly plan the project, schedule the work with vendors and get environmental impact approval.
If you would like to stay informed about our progress and road work schedule please subscribe to our newsletter or text alerts.
