From: Wild and Scenic Film Festival

Join the Idaho Chapter Sierra Club for our annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Friday, January 12th @ 7 pm in Boise! The curated selection of films highlights local stories of environmental action and communities coming together to create change. Plus, learn more about the critical work that the Idaho Chapter is doing for climate justice in Idaho and how you can get involved!

Doors open at 6 p.m., so arrive early to hang out and check out the one-of-a-kind silent auction packages and drawing prizes provided in part by local sponsors! 

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started in 2003 by the South Yuba River Citizens League, a nonprofit river conservation organization located in Nevada City, CA in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The organization was formed in 1983 when a small group of concerned citizens banded together to fight against several proposed dams. The festival's namesake is in celebration of achieving Wild & Scenic status on 39 miles of the South Yuba River in 1999. 

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is a call to action! Films can serve as a potent tool to educate and inspire activism and growth, and Wild & Scenic is committed to offering  programming that addresses environmental injustice, racism, and inequity as well as lack of representation in the outdoors and environmental movements. The films chosen by WSFF illustrate not only the challenges facing our planet but the work communities are doing to protect the environment and the places we love. The stories give us a sense of place and what it means to be responsible stewards of the earth.
