COMMUNITY BRIEFING
Wild & Scenic Film
Festival opens April 1
WALLA WALLA, Wash. — The
Wild & Scenic Film Festival arrives
online in the Blue Mountain Region
on April 1. This is the seventh year in
which the Land Trust has partnered
with the South Yuba River Citizens
League (SYRCL) to present the films
of this extraordinary festival.
Last year, because of the
pandemic, the Land Trust canceled
its in-person presentation at Whit-
man College but instead hosted 52
films online over eight weeks that
were viewed by over 3,400 guests.
This year, the festival will again
be online. The premier presenta-
tion will be streamed live beginning
April 1, at 6:30 p.m. During the live
event, guests can enjoy the films,
local food options, chat with audi-
ence members, and vie to win door
prizes, all from the comfort of home.
To join Blue Mountain Land
Trust for this live event, visit bmlt.
org/wild2021. Tickets start at $20
and dining packages start at $80. A
recorded version of the festival will
be available online through April 6.
Tim Copeland, Blue Mountain
Land Trust executive director, said,
“The festival is a natural extension
of the Land Trust’s work to inspire
people to act on behalf of the envi-
ronment. Our work at Blue Mountain
Land Trust is more than just conserv-
ing land; it connects people to the
land. Building a stewardship ethic
in the communities we serve is vital
to ensuring the long-term success of
land conservation. Natural resources
education opportunities like the Wild
& Scenic Film Festival help build this
connection.”
Featured at this On Tour event
are “Here We Stand,” a film
from Theresa Baker and Save the
Redwoods League about improv-
ing inclusivity in the outdoors;
“Common Ground” shows how
water can bring together the inter-
ests of tribes, ranchers, and govern-
ment to work toward a common goal;
and “A Message From The Future of
Paradise” reflects on the potential
rebuilding process of a community
destroyed by fire, providing a model
for others.
