Allan and Flood most recently worked on the new Disneynature film “earth,” which was released worldwide April 22 as part of the observance of Earth Day. Additionally, they worked on “Planet Earth” and “Blue Planet.”

During their presentation, which is set to begin at 2 p.m., they will share humorous stories of their work as well as their face-to-face encounters with leopard seals in the Antarctic, polar bears in the Arctic and wildlife in Africa. Many of their fine art photographs will be displayed.
