Support the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation
BIGFORK — Mountainfilm on Tour brings a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and incredibly inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado. Join us for an evening of short films full of breathtaking scenery and indomitable spirit for a good cause on March 22. Mountainfilm on Tour in Bigfork is hosted by the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation (BMWF), whose mission is to connect Americans with their wilderness heritage by providing access to and stewardship of the 1.5 million acre Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. While hosting an inspiring collection of films, the show is also an opportunity to support the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation’s 25th season of volunteer work projects in 2022. The foundation recruits and leads more than 300 volunteers on over 40 backcountry projects each summer, opening hundreds of miles of trail and treating acres of invasive weeds. We'll have brews from Jeremiah Johnson Brewing Co. in the lobby, plus a bucket raffle for outdoor gear, adventure trips and handcrafted gifts to benefit our trail and habitat restoration work. We hope you'll join us to celebrate the power of wild places and get excited for another amazing summer in The Bob! Buy tickets online or in person at Electric Avenue Gifts and Rocky Mountain Outfitter. Learn more at bmwf.org/mountainfilm.
