The event features interactive demonstrations and fun activities as well as a screening of short, kid-friendly films from this year’s Wild and Scenic Film Festival.
Then on Friday, April 21 at 4:30 p.m., please join us for a screening of the documentary “California’s Watershed: Healing.” Produced by The Chronicles Group, this film highlights the crucial role of community engagement in the restoration and conservation of the Sierra Nevada’s natural resources.
