Thank You Wild & Scenic Film Festival Attendees 

Thank you to the 300 people who showed up for the two days of Wild & Scenic - On Tour in Truckee Tahoe! Showcasing environmental and adventure films is one way MAP is helping to educate and inspire youth and adults to learn about environmental issues and how to address them in your own community. 

We hope festival-goers who attended enjoyed the two different film programs, local food by Mogrog, drinks, popcorn, live music by Anne Marie Sheridan and Sam Russell, and the Synergy Reps, California 89, and  National Partners giveaways during the events.  A huge thank you to all of our sponsors and the twenty volunteers who helped MAP execute the two events; we are truly grateful for your Tahoe stewardship and MAP love. 

Next week, our April enewsletter will include more updates from our festival, with outreach efforts, photos, and fundraising, so stay tuned for more Wild & Scenic excitement!

Wild & Scenic Raffle Winners 

Thank you to all the raffle supporters for the film festival event hosted by MAP this past weekend. We were blown away by the support from more than 40 local businesses to raffle off $8,000 worth of giveaways! We have 50+ people to call and email and we will start that outreach on Tuesday, March 23rd. 

MAP raised $2,600, directly supporting our priority conservation and advocacy campaigns this year. Thank you to all festival attendees who supported the raffle; we could not activate MAP’s mission without your financial support!
