The Magic Stump Film Showing hosted by GPF and CCAS

Grand Prairie Friends and Champaign County Audubon Society invite the public to enjoy this Illinois-focused film. 

Tickets are required at no cost and will be available soon at this website. Stay tuned for additional non-profit organizations that will join us on this day to celebrate conservation in Champaign County.

"The Magic Stump" is a Turnstone film that tells the story of an Illinois tree stump that's attracted a phenomenal variety of wintering raptors through the years, including two rare Prairie Falcons. The goal of "The Magic Stump" is to draw attention to the story of raptors that winter in our highly altered agricultural landscape. The plan is for this film to be the first in "The Prairie State" series that will feature the landscape that once dominated Illinois. The film is directed by Bob Dolgan and edited by Sharon Filipkowski. Videography is by Mitchell Fransen and Mitchell Wenkus, and original music is by Empidonax.
