River Stewardship Sundowner and Movie Night

Get ready for an inspiring evening exploring our relationship with rivers at the River Stewardship Sundowner and Movie Night, part of Nature Conservation’s environmental sundowner series.

Doors open at 6:00pm. On arrival, enjoy a complimentary drink and canapés before the program begins at 6:30pm.

The evening opens with a 30-minute panel discussion featuring expert speakers sharing cultural, scientific and community perspectives on river stewardship — and how we might “give voice” to rivers. Guests are invited to submit questions during ticket booking to help shape the conversation.

Following the panel, settle in for a full screening of River, a visually stunning 70-minute documentary written by Robert Macfarlane and narrated by Willem Dafoe. The film explores the profound relationship between human civilisation and the world’s rivers — in all their majesty, power and fragility.

Together, the discussion and film create space for reflection on what river stewardship means in practice: culturally, scientifically, emotionally and as a shared community responsibility. Expect to leave feeling connected, thoughtful and quietly motivated.
