WALLA WALLA—On Thursday, April 1, join the Blue Mountain Land Trust for the Wild & Scenic Film Festival.

Held each year in January in Nevada City, California, The Wild & Scenic Film Festival celebrates the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and inspires audiences to take action. This year, the festival will feature Here We Stand, a film by Theresa Baker and Save the Redwoods League about improving inclusivity in the outdoors, and Common Ground, a film that explores how tribes, ranchers, and government work together to work toward a common goal. Message From the Future of Paradise reflects on the potential rebuilding process of a community destroyed by fire, providing a model for others.

“The festival is a natural extension of the Land Trust’s work to inspire people to act on behalf of the environment. Our work at Blue Mountain Land Trust is more than just conserving 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,” said Tim Copeland, BMLT Executive Director.

This year, the festival will be online. The premier presentation will be live streamed, starting at 6:30 p.m. During the live event, guests can enjoy films, local food options, chat with audience members, and vie to win door prizes, all from the comfort of home. Ticket prices start at $20, and dining packages start at $80. To purchase tickets, visit http://www.bmlt.org/wild2021.
