Adventures in Conservation:
Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival
September 23, 2010 (Thursday)
7:00 pm
Mount Nittany Middle School
Tickets: $8 in advance or $10 at the door
Tickets are NOW AVAILABLE and may be purchased at Appalachian Outdoors. Tickets may also be purchased at ClearWater Conservancy by contacting Ieva at 237-0400 or ieva@clearwaterconservancy.org.
The Wild and Scenic Film Festival was conceived by a California watershed advocacy group (the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL)) in 2003 and has since flourished into the largest film festival of its kind in North America. In 2004, environmental groups started asking if they could bring the festival to their community, and gradually a touring version of the Wild and Scenic Film Festival developed from outside interest. Five years later, the tour now visits over 90 communities nationwide. The Wild and Scenic Film Festival on Tour aims to provide grassroots environmental organizations with a means for generating local environmental activism.
This film festival will be hosted by Appalachian Outdoors. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit ClearWater Conservancy! Bring a friend! Bring ten!
Stay tuned for more information (or, better, yet, sign up for the ClearWater listserv!)
