Join us for a memorable afternoon benefiting Mianus River Gorge and a special screening of Irreplaceable – The Mianus River Gorge Story, narrated by Glenn Close. 

Director: Benjamin Keller

Release Year: 2026

The film takes us deep into the Gorge—beneath old-growth hemlocks and alongside the river—and introduces us to the passionate neighbors whose determination saved this extraordinary place, which became The Nature Conservancy’s first land project. More than 70 years later, scientists, students, conservationists, and visitors are still exploring, studying, and discovering its secrets.

Above all, Irreplaceable is a testament to what people can accomplish when they come together to save a place they love—and a call to each of us to protect what matters before it is gone.
