The 10-day virtual Wild & Scenic Film Festival came to a close on Sunday, January 23rd, and we are so grateful for the attendees, staff, and volunteers for making the festival’s 20th year anniversary so special. The level of local, national, and international engagement in this year’s festival was spectacular!
As we begin 2022, we find it useful to reflect back on the work we accomplished in 2021. We could not have done it without hundreds of volunteers and members, dozens of partners, and an incredible staff of 20+ people.

“Heart Wood: Four Women, for the Earth, for the Future” is an engaging novel that weaves together the stories of four women in a way that sews together the deep past, Gold Rush era, our present time, and late 21st century with a dystopic future. Each woman connects with the land on which she lives to know it and organizes people to protect it. Together, these stories speak “to the collective power of feminine energy to protect the Earth” in a manner that inspires hope.
We recently sat down with the author of “Heart Wood”, Shirley DicKard.
