For Earth Day, is there a more appropriate way to celebrate than hanging out with endangered red wolves, a chef who harvests edible plants and imperiled honeybees? It’s all possible (in virtual form) at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, showing April 25 at Berkeley’s David Brower Center.
Dubbed an event that’s “by activists for activists,” the nationally touring festival raises money for local chapters of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby. There are six films in the 2026 lineup, among them the tale of a Brooklyn resident who swapped “the weight of a gun” for Everglades wildlife photography, and who is now a National Geographic Explorer.
Other entries follow an expert forager and fermenter in Southern California, adaptive mountain bikers challenging their disabilities in Vermont and native bees in California, which are seeing their populations drastically dwindle.
Before the main event, running from 2-5 p.m., the center is holding a free Home Electrification Fair. Drop in early if you’d like to know what financial incentives are available to make your abode more carbon-neutral.
Details: Fest takes place 7-10 p.m. April 25 (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley; $25 general admission, with donations encouraged, cclalameda.org/wsff-2026
