  • Red Barn Event: Wolf Land Film Screening

    Red Barn at Wenatchee River Institute 347 Division Street, Leavenworth, WA, United States

    No registration required. Doors to the Red Barn open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. The film will start just after 7:00pm. Run time is 71 minutes and will be followed by a Q+A with producer Sarah Hoffman. This Red Barn Event is a LIVE ONLY event and will NOT be streamed or recorded.

    Wolf Land is a film about finding common ground in unlikely places. The team spent 2.5 years documenting the lives of “wolf protecting cowboy” and range rider Daniel Curry and rancher Jerry Francis in the remote wilderness of northeast Washington. Washington has had its share of conflict on this issue, and human/wildlife conflict is a story that’s typically told in polarizing extremes. This film’s goal was to document two people in the middle of this conflict working together to protect what’s most dear to each of them. For Daniel, that is endangered wolves and for Jerry, his cattle and way of life.

    We hope that this hyperlocal film, produced in the Northwest, has themes of coexistence that can touch audiences with a range of perspectives on this issue. Courtesy Cascade Public Media.

  • Red Barn Event: Taking Better Plant Photos

    Red Barn at Wenatchee River Institute 347 Division Street, Leavenworth, WA, United States

    This event will be both in person and online. No registration required, but RSVP to receive email reminders and updates about this event! In order to attend virtually, you can find a link to the YouTube livestream on WRI’s event calendar page.

    Doors to the Red Barn open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm.

    Jack Mynatt, Tracy Maynard, and Mike Power are avid, long-time hikers, skiers, and amateur photographers. Jack and Tracy are on the board of the Wenatchee Valley chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society (WNPS). They have been annoying their hiking companions for decades with lengthy stops to take pictures, and now it’s your turn to slow down with them to look and listen.

    Jack and Tracy will focus (so to speak) on iPhone photography; Mike uses a DSLR. In addition to showing some pretty pictures, they will discuss a few technical issues, problems and solutions, and make suggestions for taking better shots so you too, can have your photos accepted to the WNPS Calendar.

  • Red Barn Event: Enchantments: What Comes Next?

    After a summer of overcrowding and understaffing in the Enchantments, day-use management has reached a critical moment. Join Seattle Times outdoors reporter Gregory Scruggs, TREAD Executive Director Mat Lyons, and Wenatchee Outdoors Executive Director Sarah Shaffer for a discussion on potential changes along the Icicle Creek corridor, lessons from other mountain towns, and on-the-ground stewardship efforts in the Enchantments.

    This hybrid event offers both in-person and online viewing. Watch live or later on YouTube via the link on WRI’s calendar—no registration required. RSVP to receive reminders and updates. Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase; the presentation begins at 7:00pm.

  • Bird Fest Community Fair

    Red Barn at Wenatchee River Institute 347 Division Street, Leavenworth, WA, United States

    Join Us for the Annual Bird Fest Community Fair!

    A highlight of the festival season is back! We invite you to the Bird Fest Community Fair—a gathering for families, youth, and adults to celebrate birds, wildlife, and the beautiful Wenatchee Valley.

    Continuing our tradition of an extended schedule, the fair remains open later into the afternoon so you can head over straight from your morning birding field trips. Enjoy a full afternoon of art and nature activities, guided walks, and live music from local musicians. With a wide variety of artists and vendors on-site, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.
