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.

What is the plant pictured, please?
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?…
You sound miserable.

“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…
