Thank you for joining us for the 2026 Wild & Scenic Film Festival!

What a wonderful and fun filled day! We’re so grateful to everyone who joined Ventura Land Trust for the Wild & Scenic Film Festival and helped make this year’s event such a success.

From inspiring films and meaningful conversations to good food, great company, and plenty of reasons to celebrate our wild places, the day was a beautiful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together to protect the land we love.

And there’s still a chance to make your support go twice as far! Thanks to the generosity of Kate Larramendy and Roger White as well as Ventura Citizens for Hillside Preservation, if you make a gift by the end of today, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar—doubling your impact for Ventura Land Trust’s conservation work.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival auction is still open! Browse a fantastic selection of gift cards, getaways, outdoor adventures, artwork, gear, and more while supporting Ventura Land Trust. Bidding ends Saturday, August 29 at 9 PM, so be sure to place your bids before time runs out!
