Thanks to a grant from the Kentucky Colonels, the Friends of Land Between the Lakes will be able to purchase a new show for the Golden Pond Planetarium.
Director of Outreach and Sustainability Jennifer Wheatley says in a release the new show Habitat Earth is narrated by Academy-Award-winning actress Frances McDormand and produced by the California Academy of Sciences. She adds the Habitat Earth show will debut to the public in 2019 and take viewers on a stunning journey exploring the interconnectedness of life on Planet Earth.
The Golden Pond Planetarium features seven educational shows in the dome daily and is open seven days a week. The Friends of Land Between the Lakes partner with the USDA Forest Service to create opportunities for educational experiences and lasting memories at LBL for tens of thousands of visitors every year. The Friends of LBL provide staffing for the Woodlands Nature Station, Golden Pond Planetarium and Visitor Center, and the 1850s Homeplace Working Farm.
The Kentucky Colonels is an organization of talented and capable men and women appointed by the governor because of their citizenship and service that support state organizations. Through their Good Works Program, the Kentucky Colonels have distributed $2 million to support 231 worthy causes this year, which will impact over 3.8 million people across the state.
