The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is returning to the Skagit for its second year in a row! Join us on October 10th, 2024 for a night of films and fun.
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival returns to the Lincoln Theater!
The Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group is excited to bring the Wild & Scenic Film Festival back to the Historic Lincoln Theater for one night only on Thursday, October 10th. This evening of short films will kick off with a reception starting at 6 pm, followed by the film showing at 7pm. Come early and join the fun!
The Film Festival will feature short films that will delight the senses, inform our minds and help us appreciate nature and the struggles to protect it. Films will be selected from a collection of over 100 films shown at the annual film festival held in Nevada City, CA. These films capture the spirit of varying environmental movements across the globe and the relationship that they have to humanity and that humanity has to them. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival works with environmental groups across the globe to host On Tour events as a way to outreach into different communities and bring together a diverse audience.
We are seeking SPONSORS for this event to help us bring it back bigger and better than ever! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please click here!
Thank you to our local sponsors: Herrera Environmental Consultants, Puget Sound Energy, Whatcom Educational Credit Union, Maul Foster & Alongi (Peak Sustainability Group), the Rotary Club of Burlington, Tito’s Vodka, Anthony’s, and the Skagit Watershed Council!
A Benefit for Skagit Fisheries
Skagit Fisheries is thrilled to be selected as a host organization for this amazing film event for the 7th year and hopes the Film Festival will inspire a greater connection with our own Wild and Scenic Skagit River, as well as providing an evening of engaging fun.
Skagit Fisheries is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging the community in restoring wild salmon populations for future generations. Salmon habitat enhancement is accomplished through habitat restoration, monitoring, and a wide variety of community outreach and education programs. Skagit Fisheries offers free educational programs to over 1,500 students each year. These opportunities get students out of their classrooms and learning hands-on real science and watershed exploration which otherwise would not be available and affordable to local schools. Funds raised will go towards supporting these important education programs. They will also enable the program to continue to be offered free of charge to local schools.

Volunteers Needed for Nursery Watering!
Skagit Fisheries is seeking volunteers to help with watering at our native plant nursery this summer! From February to April, over 4,000 plants were potted by volunteers and AmeriCorps members. These plants will spend their summer in our nursery before going to restoration sites this coming fall. If you have a passion for gardening or caring for plants in general, we would love your help! We are asking for a commitment of one day a week, for only 1-2 hours, from July to September in hopes of providing the plants with adequate water during the hot summer months. Please fill out this interest form to indicate interest and reach out to cgarrod@skagitfisheries.org if you have any questions!
Vegetation Monitoring Workshop
Upcoming EventsDo you have experience in identifying Washington native trees and shrubs, or are looking for the opportunity to add identification as a skill? This summer, SFEG is looking for volunteers to participate in vegetation monitoring surveys on past and present restoration sites. These surveys consist of data collection and site stewardship to help improve the success of riparian restoration in Skagit Valley.
This workshop will be training for anyone wanting to help out with our monitoring this summer! Please be at our Native Plant Nursery (21109 Kelleher Rd, Burlington) at 9am for the first portion of the workshop, we will travel to Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley later in the day for the other portion.
