Forests, rivers and salmon define the Pacific Northwest, but all three face an uncertain future. This Earth Day week, watch some new films and learn how to turn your love of the outdoors into action with local environmental nonprofit partners RE Sources and Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA). Patagonia and Backcountry Essentials are hosting a free evening film screening event and rally for our region’s forests, rivers and salmon. We’ll screen three short films, then share some ways you can take action on behalf of our local environment, through both advocacy and volunteering.
Where: Backcountry Essentials, upstairs
When: April 18th, Doors open 7:00pm, Event begins 7:30pm

Please RSVP so we can email you an event reminder and prepare seating, snacks and beverages accordingly.
