Pine Mud Documentary

  • The Newtown Theatre 120 North State Street Newtown, PA 18940 (map)

Co-hosted with Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve

The historic Newtown Theatre will screen Pine Mud on Tuesday, March 19 at 7:30 PM. This screening is co-hosted by Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve.

Directed by filmmaker Jared Flescher, Pine Mud is the first feature documentary to explore the controversial and intensifying problem of off-road vehicle damage on public lands, in this case the New Jersey Pinelands.

In the vast Pinelands National Reserve, powerful vehicles trample protected sand dunes and drive circles through ancient ponds. Like many wild places, “off-roading” has grown more popular here. Some of the activity is perfectly legal – provided it stays on established trails – but ignoring the rules is widespread.

As a gritty local conservationist works to protect habitat for threatened species, tensions flare with off-roading enthusiasts who fear their access to the forest will be restricted.

Online tickets for this special screening are $15 per person or $10 for members of the theatre and Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $20 at the door for everyone on the night of the movie (if available).
