RIVER CLEANUP & FILM FESTIVAL

Rivers are Life spent the weekend with Cash Daniels at Lookout Wild Film Festival. The film festival premiered our films The Conservation Kid and Study Aboard and hosted River Hero, Cash Daniels for a Q&A session. As part of the weekend, we participated in a cleanup on the Suck Creek. This amazing event, was organized by Wanderlinger Brewing Company as part of their "Pickup for a Pint" program, which awarded volunteers over the age of 21 a free pint of beer at the brewery afterwards. 

In total, volunteers, including Cash “The Conservation Kid" Daniels, and his mom, Erin, picked up 30 bags of trash, a fridge door, and a mailbox.

Inspired by Cash and his solution to address fishing line waste in rivers, festival organizers donated $1 from every festival ticket sold to Cash for monofilament bins and other advocacy work, resulting in $446.
