Wild Food & Films the theme of CRWP events

Each fall in Cordova, and winter in the Copper Basin, we host an annual gathering to celebrate the watershed and it's bountiful harvest with members, partners and friends from both upriver communities and Cordova.  These events bring together residents of the watershed to learn about the organization's new and exciting projects and to celebrate the subsistence lifestyle of the region.

Cordova Event

A Wild Berry Cook-off is the main event in Cordova, with great prizes awarded for best drink, finger food, side dish, entree, dessert, most creative and best in show--all including local wild berries as an ingredient. A Berry Patch Walk and Silent Auction of homemade jams and liquors round out the evening.

2011 Dates TBD

Copper Basin Event

A Wild Food Feast is the main event in Glennallen, with prizes awarded for dishes made from ingredients that flew, grew, walked or swam in the watershed.

Local Films recruited for 2010-2011 events

We are excited to recruit local films for our first annual Wild Film Festival, featuring movies that highlight the lifestyle, culture and/or environment of the Copper River region.  Films covering other Alaskan regions also accepted. All films must be previewed by CRWP prior to festival.  Film length of 15 minutes or less preferred to allow more films to be viewed.  Questions?  Contact Kate.

Thanks to our 2010
