 ersity of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) invites you to
  a special preview screening of Maryland Public Television's new documenta

 \n\n\nSpace is limited\, RSVP today!\n\n\n\nPoplar Island\, like so many o
 ther islands in the Chesapeake Bay\, was vanishing – steadily sinking into
  ever-rising water. By the 1990s\, all that remained were a few wispy bars
  of sand\, no more than five acres in all. Once\, it had thrummed with lif
 e: a haven for British warships\, a home to more than 100 people\, a hideo
 ut for bootleggers and moonshiners\, and a hunting retreat that hosted the
  likes of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. But\, in time\, Chesapeake Bay 
 reclaimed the island\, eroding its shores and swallowing its stories.  \n
 \n\n\nResurrecting Poplar Island salvages those stories from the sea\, chr
 onicling the small community that made Poplar its home and the frantic eff
 ort to save the graves of some of those inhabitants as the island slipped 
 beneath the waves. Its eventual resurrection was – and continues to be – o
 ne of the most ambitious environmental engineering projects on the planet.
    \n\n\n\nPoplar Island’s ongoing restoration is the result of an extraor
 dinary collaboration among state and federal agencies. Material dredged fr
 om nearby shipping channels is the foundation for what has become a stunni
 ng ecosystem\, populated by an ever-growing list of species. Researchers m
 onitor the environment year-round\, studying the diamondback terrapins\, e
 ndangered shorebirds\, and striped bass that take shelter in the pristine 
 wetlands. \n\n      \n\n\n\n    \n\n              \n\n      \n\n\n\n    \n

   \n\n    \n\n              \n\n\nThe film explores the island’s past and 
 present – and what success here could mean for the future of the other dis
 appearing islands in the Bay and beyond. \n\n\n\nResurrecting Poplar Islan
 d was produced in cooperation with the University of Maryland Center for E
 nvironmental Science.\n\n\n\nFollowing the film\, take part in an insightf
 ul discussion with UMCES scientists working on the ground at this remarkab
 le habitat restoration project.\n\n      \n\n\n\n    \n\n              \n
