Anonymous street artists painted a dotted line and scissors on the defunct Matilija Dam in 2011. The dam has been slated for removal for years, but additional studies are being conducted to decide how best to deal with the trapped sediment and downstream water supply. Matilija Dam is owned by the County of Ventura, California in a scene from DAMNATION. Photo: Matt Stoecker

A FREE public screening of the movie DamNation in at Shippensburg University's Orndorf Theater (in the CUB), co-sponsored by the Shippensburg Geography-Earth Science Department and the Geography & Earth Science Organization.

DamNation uses the Elwha Dam Removal project (and great cinematography) to focus viewers’ attentions on our nation’s aging infrastructure and the new era of dam removal. This campus event is open and free to anyone, but I suspect we might know a few students that are interested in rivers, hydrology, sustainable energy, political action, stream restoration, or dams. Come.
