Since 2019, the Alliance has brought communities together by hosting the Wild & Scenic Film Festival across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This spring, the Film Festival will provide warmth, inspire action, and raise hope during a time of growth and rebirth.
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival brings together incredible selections of films that inform, inspire, and ignite solutions and possibilities to restore the earth and human communities while creating a positive future for the next generation. Festival-goers can expect to see award-winning films about nature, community activism, adventure, conservation, water, energy and climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, agriculture, Native American, and indigenous cultures.
The Film Festival is a natural extension of the Alliance’s mission to bring together communities, companies, and conservationists to improve the lands and waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
We look forward to coming together again in April 2026 at the 8th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival!
