作为科达伦湖的守护者, KEA is hosting the 野生 and 风景影展 to inform locals about 水 issues, to build community and conversation around protecting our lake and keeping our 水 safe for kids and to inspire us to take action and help protect our best asset: Coeur d’Alene Lake and the 水shed that surrounds it. The film festival is an extension of KEA’s work to inspire people to experience and become stewards of the great outdoors.

For us, it’s all about clean, safe 水 for our kids, and their kids, too.

For 50 years, KEA has been active in our community working to protect our environment. 自2014年以来, KEA has been an affiliate member of Waterkeeper Alliance, an international organization and a global movement of community based advocates united for clean, healthy and abundant 水 for all and for the planet connecting local a Waterkeeper groups worldwide.

在2020年的会员调查中, 88% asked us to focus on 水 — working to educate and advocate for our lake and surrounding 水shed. KEA did just that, becoming a full member of Waterkeeper Alliance in 2021. This level of involvement with Waterkeeper Alliance provides us the support of an international organization, 为同一个任务而努力, 为我们提供指导, standards and support making our efforts more effective when lobbying for 水 protection.

“作为守水人的一员, we have the help we need to create a community around a real emotional issue, 环境”, 雪莱·奥斯汀评论, Executive Director of KEA and member of the Waterkeeper Regional Council.

KEA raises 有趣的ds and awareness to teach students and the public about our mission to conserve, protect and restore Coeur d’Alene Lake and the Coeur d’Alene 水shed. KEA provides education programs, hosts conversational Talk-Oh! Tuesdays, citizen science classes, Boat Tours, Shoreline Hikes and more. KEA participates in local Watershed and basin Advisory Committees as well as the Governor of Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene Lake Advisory Committee.

“The 野生 and 风景影展 brings us films that remind us we are all in this together”, 评论Cynthia Rozyla, KEA董事会主席. “The films we chose enable to us to highlight local environmental issues and inspire action, 提高我们在社会上的意识, recruit new members and raise critical 有趣的ds for our organization. We have an incredible lineup of films this year that will excite and energize our audience. We’ve chosen films that directly relate to our area and the wealth of natural outdoor opportunities that surround us. Our goal is to encourage each participant to help us protect, conserve and advocate for our lake and 水shed.”

The 野生 and 风景影展 inspires environmental activism and a love for nature — through film. 野生和风景共享紧急呼吁采取行动, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet and how to address similar local environmental concerns. Transforming film-goers into activists is the mission, accomplished in a festival setting. Festival-goers are treated to a wide variety of award-winning films, 包括关于自然的, 社会行动主义, 冒险, 保护, 水, 能源, 野生动物与环境正义.

The 野生 and 风景影展 combines stellar filmmaking and first-rate storytelling to inform, inspire and ignite passions and generate solutions to restore the earth and to create a positive future for generations to come.

This Festival is a memorable event for the whole family. One thing to note: these are not films for kids. We think they'll like them but we can't guarantee that no foul words will pop up. 总的来说，这些电影是适合家庭观赏的.

加入我们的抽奖活动, 有趣的, fabulous prizes and some GREAT films celebrating the beauty and wonder of our natural world.
