Fillm & Discussion - "Chehalis: A Watershed Moment"

About this event

COMMUNITY FILM VIEWING & DISCUSSION

Directed by Shane Anderson & Jesse Andrew Clark

Chehalis: A Watershed Moment (2020) explores the challenges facing Washington State's Chehalis River Basin, including increasing flood events, declining salmon populations, and difficult decisions about how communities should respond to a changing climate. The documentary examines diverse perspectives from tribal nations, scientists, conservationists, public officials, and residents.

The film asks a critical question:

How can communities balance flood protection, ecological restoration, and the preservation of a vital watershed for future generations?

Join us for a special screening and community conversation about the future of the Chehalis River Basin, climate resilience, flood management, salmon recovery, and the communities that depend on this vital watershed.
