The Cannon River Watershed Partnership is proud to announce that the Wild & Scenic Film Festival On Tour will return for a second year to the Cannon River Watershed this February. CRWP will screen a selection of seven short films from the festival in Red Wing and in Northfield, Minnesota, each of which speaks in a different way to the environmental concerns and celebrations of our planet. “Films featured at Wild & Scenic give people a sense of place,” says Tour Associate Director, Amelia Workman. “In today’s busy world, it is easy to disconnect from our role in the global ecosystem. When we realize that the change we need in this world begins with us, we start making a difference. Come get inspired!”

The films collected and featured by the Wild and Scenic Film Festival are a natural extension of CRWP’s work to inspire people to act on behalf of the environment. This winter’s selections tell stories about your backyard, an endangered lake and culture in Kenya, Beluga habitat in the Arctic and stories of remarkable rivers in the Southwest and abroad. CRWP hopes to also include the only public screenings of a documentary short film made by St. Olaf College film students as well.

EVENT DETAILS: $10 for students, seniors and members of CRWP, $15 for general public. A limited number of tickets will be made available online at crwp.net, in person at CRWP’s Northfield office or at the theater the night of the event if any tickets remain.

Proceeds will support the work of the Cannon River Watershed Partnership.
