Public Lands Film Festival – Hayward
Hosted by the Wild Rivers Conservancy, this night of film aims to inspire outdoor recreation and a love for nature.
America’s public lands are more than forests, rivers, and mountains—they are places where people find peace, adventure, inspiration, and a connection to something larger than themselves. Through a curated collection of short films from independent filmmakers, the Public Lands Film Festival celebrates the breathtaking beauty, rich diversity, and enduring importance of these special places. Each film was chosen for its ability to inform, inspire, and remind audiences that when people come together around the places they love, extraordinary things happen.
