Environmental and other Community-Based Nonprofits all around the country are using The American Elm:  Majestic, Imperiled, Renewed as the centerpiece for fundraising and/or educational events.  For example, the Sag Harbor (N.Y.) Tree Fund screened the film at a fundraiser with the South Fork Natural History Museum.

Urban Foresters and Government Agencies are using it to raise awareness of the history and current status of the American elm, and methods used in some cities to contain the spread of the disease and to plant hardy, disease-resistant elms along city streets. 

Schools and Colleges are using it as part of their history or science curricula.

Garden Clubs and Other Organizations show it at their meetings when they want to emphasize the importance of tree planting.
