Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival on Tour Returns to Cleveland Museum of Natural History The largest environmental film festival in North America is returning to Cleveland. Whether it’s a call to action to avert the climate crisis, an inspirational message about citizen participation and forest advocacy that resulted in Ohio’s only national forest, a humorous look at the American obsession with the residential lawn and its environmental effects, or an eye-opening tour of the real costs of our consumer-driven culture, the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival on Tour will expose the public to forward-thinking ideas and global awareness. The Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival, presented by Patagonia and hosted by the Museum’s Nature League and its GreenCityBlueLake Institute, brings together nine award-winning environmental and adventure films in a spirit of inspiration and education. These films help raise awareness of the natural world and motivate viewers to make a difference locally and globally. Event organizers are interested in engaging Northeast Ohio’s youth. To this end, high school students are encouraged to attend at a discounted cost of $5. The evening kicks off at 6 p.m. with a reception where guests can enjoy music, food and a $2 beer and wine bar. They can also meet representatives from local environmental groups. The films will be shown in the Museum’s Murch Auditorium starting at 7 p.m., with one intermission. All proceeds from the film festival benefit the Museum. Tickets are $15 per person. Members receive a discounted ticket price of $10. High school students pay a discounted cost of $5. For reservations, call 216-231-1177 or 800-317-9155, ext. 3279 or visit www.cmnh.org.
