You're invited to attend the free Conserve Sauk Film Festival which aims to celebrate and educate our community around conservation issues & our relationship to the environment.

The film festival will kick off at 10:30am with the screening of the film, Rise Up Again - Exploring Our Shared Humanity in Giese Lecture Hall, Room A-104. 

​

A variety of conservation focused films will be screened at this event, including several films produced locally and regionally. A film schedule is available to help you plan your visit. 

There will be a lunch break from 12:30pm to 1:30pm. Attendees are encouraged to visit the Bluff View Café on campus and enjoy the view overlooking the City of Baraboo and the Baraboo Hills.

This festival seeks to help us better understand and appreciate the natural beauty and resources of the area, celebrate our conservation successes, reflect upon our relationship to the environment, address challenges that we face, consider how we can be part of the solution, and connect as a county and a community over our shared world. Our concept of community includes the land itself. As Aldo Leopold, one of the many conservation figures to leave his mark on Sauk County, said, "We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."
