Every year, we house upwards of 100 special guests from out-of-town, which simply wouldn’t be possible without the hospitality of this community. This is a unique opportunity to spend time with Wild & Scenic Film Festival guests, and a great way to earn some free access to sessions!

Spooky season is here, but fire safety is no trick. 🎃

While decorating for Halloween, remember to:
🕸 Keep exits clear
🕯 Keep décor away from candles, heaters, and lights
🚨 Double-check your smoke alarms

A safe home is the best treat of all.

Fire shelters are a firefighter’s last line of defense on the wildfire frontlines. While the shelters are required protective gear, actual deployments are rare.

Heading out to the beach today? ⛱️

Use extra caution given the Moderate to High rip current risk from Florida to Maine today (October 2). Try to find a beach with lifeguards - and when in doubt, don't go out!

The U.S. government is taking on an ownership stake in the developer of Nevada’s Thacker Pass lithium mine.

Why would the government do this, what’s the precedent and what concerns do experts have?

Happy Autumn Equinox! I snagged this shot in Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park in 2012. As much as I love living out west I do miss being able to pop up to the Smokies for fall colors.

What's your favorite place to enjoy autumn leaves?
