Environmental Film Festival Stops at State College
The largest environmental film festival in North America is making its State College debut. ClearWater Conservancy and Appalachian Outdoors are teaming up to bring the “Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival” to Mount Nittany Middle School 7 p.m. June 25th.
State College is one of 90 communities nationwide hosting the festival tour, which aims to inspire local activism. One of the films, “Division Street,” takes a breathtaking look at the wildlife corridors that are attempting to restore a wilderness invaded by cars and roads. (Get ready for grizzly encounters!) The film’s theme will be familiar to many locals–ClearWater Conservancy is attempting to maintain and protect a wildlife corridor in Centre County.
Stop in Appalachian Outdoors for $8 advance tickets or pay $10 at the door. All proceeds benefit ClearWater.

I attended the film festival last night and it was a great event! Kudos to everyone involved for bringing the film fest to Happy Valley. A great opportunity to sit back and learn about environmental issues around the world as well as a few moments to smile, laugh and appreciate the gift of film as a tool to tell meaningful stories. A great escape and great reminder of the beauty in our world. I hope the Film Festival can become an annual event for our community. Great job everyone!
