The Rogue River on the Big Screen
You may recall that the last trip of our 2008 season was in commemoration of the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act's 40th Anniversary (see blog post Sept. 4, 2008). This spectacular trip offered our guests a special opportunity to travel down the Rogue with representatives of the American Rivers & the Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center in an effort to educate guests and guides about the on-going efforts to protect the Rogue and surrounding forests from clear-cut logging initiatives.
If you're sorry you missed this educational Rogue trip, we have great news! A short film was created during the trip which will be debuted at two film festivals in November. "Run, Rogue, Run" was produced by the Epicocity Project in conjunction with American Rivers Conservancy, Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center, and Siskiyou Project. We applaud these organizations for making an effort to educate citizens about the danger logging poses to the tributaries of the Rogue. ECHO was proud to partner with these organizations for a short film about one of our favorite rivers in the country. Check out "Run, Rogue, Run" at one of these festivals:
