Wilder than Wild Documentary
This new hour-long film by California filmmakers Kevin White and Stephen Most takes us on a journey from the Rim fire of 2013 in the central Sierra, to the wine country wildfires of 2017. Along the way, we meet stakeholders, scientists and innovative resource managers building consensus on how to restore and manage the lands we love and depend on.
Free screening in the Topping Room Friday, June 22, 6-8 pm.
Following the screening, on Saturday, June 23, 12:00 to 5:00 pm, StoryCenter will bring a public oral history workshop to E.P. Foster Library.
You are invited to come and share a 30 minute reflection and stories about your experience of the fires last year or in years before.
