August is National Water Quality Month, and SYRCL's Wild & Scenic Film Festival is marking it with three free films that explore what clean water means, what threatens it, and what communities are doing to protect it.
This month's playlist features three prior Wild & Scenic Official Selections: *Blue Carbon* takes you into the coastal wetlands quietly sequestering carbon and filtering water for the ecosystems around them. *West Portal Creek* follows farmers, conservationists, scientists, and federal agencies working together to reduce bacterial contamination in a single creek by 97 percent. And *The Fall River* profiles Northern California's largest spring-fed wild trout fishery — and the community fighting to keep it that way.
Three films. Three rivers. Three reminders that protecting water starts with local action.
