The Evanston Environmental Association (EEA), North ShoreUniversity Health System and the city of Evanston will present the Wild & Scenic Film Festival from 7 to 9 p.m., March 11, at Rotary International. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Audients may also attend virtually.

This year’s films include the story of how Indigenous leaders fought to remove four dams to restore the Klamath River; the hunt to find and stop the spread of the infamous “murder hornet”; how one man’s dream to connect Black communities with nature led to the creation of Camp Yoshi; and more.
