The festival is a natural extension of ORF’s work to inspire people to act on behalf of the environment. ORF hopes to use the festival to provide community understanding of the connection we share with the planet and our role as stewards to keep it healthy for the next generations.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in 2003. The festival works with environmental groups across the US to host local film festivals as a way to reach into their communities, inspire activism, increase awareness for grassroots environmental causes, and generate critical funds. Wild & Scenic on Tour is taking place in cities across the country including Chicago, Houston, Washington DC, and many others.

Concerned citizens worldwide know the urgency of the many environmental crises facing our planet today, but most don’t know how they can contribute to the fight. Now, attendees in Cincinnati can support their own local advocates for the environment by attending Ohio River Foundation’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour event.

ORF is a regional conservation non-profit headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Proceeds from the event will support ORF’s exciting education, restoration, and advocacy programs that fulfill its mission to protect and improve the ecology in the Ohio River watershed, a source of drinking water to more than five million people. The Ohio River Watershed stretches across 200,000 square miles, 14 states, and is home to 25 million people.
