SUMMARY:Shared Wild Film Series Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join Friends of the Columbia Gorge for a special screening of the Shared Wild Series\, a short film series directed by Friends’ Digital Content Producer Monique Trevett that celebrates community\, conservation\, and recreation in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. \n  \n  \nThis series celebrates the joy of outdoor recreation while exploring how our experiences shape conservation\, belonging\, access\, and stewardship. Across the Gorge\, recreation can be a powerful entry point—not just to the landscape itself\, but to a community of people of all ages. With Shared Wild\, we’re sharing stories of community members who are making a direct impact by breaking down barriers to recreation throughout the Columbia Gorge. \n  \nJoin us from 6 to 8 PM for an in-person screening of all six films in the series. The screening begins at 6:45 PM. After the first three films\, we will take a short intermission featuring a panel conversation with people featured in the films.
