Volunteers needed on Stewardship Saturday—a weekly opportunity to help restore and care for the historic montane forests of Volcan Mountain. Join our reforestation team for a full day on the mountain as we plant the next generation of trees. Volunteers will help establish coulter pine, bigcone Douglas-fir, and incense cedar across priority restoration sites. The day begins at 8 a.m. at VMF's Sky Island basecamp with coffee, a short orientation, and hands-on training in silviculture best practices. We’ll introduce the landscape, explain how planting locations are selected, and share how volunteers contribute to our broader restoration strategy. For those interested, optional sessions will also explore place-based decision-making, field data entry, adaptive management, and long-term monitoring. After orientation, volunteers will form small planting crews and head into the field to begin hard, fun work on the mountain! Planting will wrap up around 2:30 p.m. (earlier departures are always fine). Afterwards, we’ll gather just 10 minutes down Wynola Road for an informal Happy Hour at Calico Cidery, an organic orchard-based taproom serving natural wine, farm-style cider, and local non-alcoholic beverages. Whether you’re a seasoned planter or brand new to restoration work, we’d love to have you join us as we rebuild this forest together.

Bolivia's President Rodrigo Paz faces a deepening crisis as widespread protests and blockades leave the political capital under siege less than six months after he took office.

Jacques Demy followed up "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" with another musical about missed connections and second chances, this one a more effervescent confection. Twins Delphine and Solange, a dance instructor and a music teacher (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), long for big-city life; when a fair comes through their quiet port town, so does the possibility of escape. With its jazzy Michel Legrand score, pastel paradise of costumes, and divine supporting cast (George Chakiris, Grover Dale, Danielle Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, and Gene Kelly), "The Young Girls of Rochefort" is a tribute to Hollywood optimism from sixties French cinema’s preeminent dreamer.

In one of those wonderful coincidences of history, lumière, the French word for “light,” was also the last name of brothers Auguste and Louis, whose brilliant invention, the cinematograph, helped to inaugurate the most beloved art form of the last 130 years. Institute Lumière director Thierry Frémaux uses Lumière, Le Cinéma! to guide the viewer through over a hundred shorts—some famous, some forgotten, some never before seen—directed by Lumière and company. In the process, Frémaux illuminates how the brothers employed the camera as a creative instrument as they (and their operators) mastered framing, staging, and subject selection for quotidian and exotic microdocumentaries as well as the first ever fictional motion pictures. The result is not only a glorious re(telling) of the genesis of cinema but a profound meditation on the beautiful world captured—and the mysterious world imagined—by the Lumières.
