Are you truly passionate about preserving the nature that surrounds us? Check out the Palouse Outdoor Festival and the award winning documentary, DamNation. DamNation is a brilliantly filmed documentary that highlights the effect dams have had on our nation’s wilderness over the past 50 years. It is a powerful film that shows the rise and removal of several dams around the country and how their absence has given salmon and other fish the ability to return to their spawning grounds. DamNation will be shown Friday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Palouse Outdoor Festival. The showing will take place in the SRC backyard.
