Schedule of Events:

1:00 pm: Grand Canyon Adventure With Andrea Weiser

Concrete Theatre Auditorium
Andrea spent February exploring and camping in the Grand Canyon, rafting 280 miles. Come see some of the photos she captured that highlight the stunning beauty, geology and archaeology.

2:30 pm: Journey Down the Skagit

Concrete Theatre Auditorium
Because of Skagit Land Trust's work and collaboration, the Skagit River is slowly returning to the natural conditions, with great salmon runs and two of the region's largest heronries. We're fortunate to live in “The Skagit” but also have a big responsibility if we are to protect enough of this land to pass on a resilient ecosystem for wildlife, plants and people to future generations.

4:00 pm: 500 Days in the Wild

Concrete Theatre Auditorium

A documentary by award-winning director and cinematographer Dianne Whelan. The film chronicles her incredible journey across the Trans Canada Trail, where she became the first person to complete the 24,000-kilometer trek —hiking, biking, paddling, snowshoeing and skiing across the country.

The Trans Canada Trail is the longest in the world, connecting three oceans. Throughout most of the trek, Dianne is alone with her camera, but she receives help from strangers and friends along the way.

For a woman in her 50s who is not an extreme athlete, it was sometimes gruelling, occasionally harrowing, often exhilarating and always surprising. She started out alone, disillusioned with the state of the world and worried about climate change, to look for different ways of caring for the land and each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in love and with a passion to share this story.
