The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL), in 2003. Read more about the festival’s origins at  www.wildandscenicfilmfestival.org/about-the-festival.  Since then, it has evolved into the largest environmental film festival in the nation. The annual event each January in Nevada City, CA kicks off the nationwide tour to over 125 cities. We think the films are just too good, and the messages too powerful to keep them to ourselves. Join us on February 27th and see for yourself! Watch the trailer for this year’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival! 

All proceeds from the Lawrence event will benefit Friends of the Kaw and our work for the Kansas River.
