Quercophiles Abroad

Those who have attended the 8th International Oak Conference or the post-conference tour, in October 2015, have already seen Dan's documentary covering his 20 years of traveling with the Oak Society. 

Dan has been working on a second version of his movie, “tweaking parts, putting in new audio (narrative & sound effects), and putting in over 100 subtitles identifying places, botanical terms, & species names.”

He will be showing the documentary on the 21st of February, in New Richmond, Wisconsin.  If you are in the neighborhood, please do not hesitate to come.
