Wild & Scenic Film Festival In Garberville This Sunday

Fire FollowersPress release from the Wild & Scenic Film Festival:

This Sunday October 13, the Wild & Scenic Film Festival is returning to the Redwood Playhouse in Garberville for its 5th year.

Festival start at 4pm (come hungry!)
Films start at 5pm.

There [will] be 16 breathtaking short films highlighting this remarkable blue marble we call home; we will also be celebrating this extraordinary place we live, the Lost Coast. Come early and join us for dinner provided by the Healy Senior Center starting at 4pm. There will also be live music, beer & wine, door prizes, drinks, dessert, silent auction, and more! All in support of Lost Coast Interpretive Association. Tickets are $20 or $15 for seniors and student – tickets are available at tinyurl.com/2019FilmFest or at the door.

The Lost Coast Interpretive Association programs provide students, volunteers, visitors, and the local community opportunities to understand, engage with and preserve the wild lands on the Lost Coast of Northern California. Programs include: Summer Adventure Camp, Youth Interpreters, Native Garden and Education Center, and the new Shelter Cove Invasive Plant Program.www.lostcoast.org

Wild & Scenic focuses on films which speak to the environmental concerns and celebrations of our planet. The Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in 2003. The festival’s namesake is in celebration of SYRCL’s landmark victory to receive “Wild & Scenic” status for 39 miles of the South YubaRiver in 1999.

I have never understood this event, given the fact its being showcased near and directly above one of the most egregious instream surface mining operations on the South Fork Eel River (which itself is a state and federal listed Wild & Scenic River), which is also the home of 3 threatened and endangered aquatic species, and listed as an Essential Fish Habitat for chinook, steelhead and coho.

So why is this organization celebrating “Wild & Scenic Rivers” elsewhere, when they cannot even save what’s in their own backyard and just down the road. Hypocrisy is alive and well in Southern Humboldt as they take your money to save what?…

“miserable”, you don’t know the half of it sweety. What you see in the picture above is property owned and operated by the Southern Humboldt Community Park Board, the Park Board leases that abomination of a money pit for the express intent of privatizing and profiting from natural resources, with NO protection or preservation of wildlife habitat or eco-systems, no sir, just straight up greed. Its called misdirection and misinformation, people have been doing this for awhile now. You think the Park’s gates stay open from donations, please! Not when you’re $700,000 in debt…
