This work is funded by a grant from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundations’ Southern Resident Killer Whale Conservation Program for the purpose of improving habitat, food sources, and conducting research to support recovery of the Southern Resident Orca population within our region. The grant covers the costs for volunteer coordination, recruiting, training, equipping, and managing the data captured by our volunteers.
Film Series
The Films with Friends film series was sponsored by the Friends Trail Tales project. The film series offered four contemporary, feature-length environmental documentaries on topics of current interest. Each showing was preceded by the premiere of a short, student-made documentary most funded by Trail Tales on a locally relevant topic. There is currently no plans to have a film series in 2018 but we will certainly let our members know when we are hosting a new series!
You can view these student shorts at the Friends Vimeo channel.
