MWA’s virtual screening, benefiting our local chapters:
Learn more and purchase tickets at: wildmontana.org/bcff
The Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival is back for its 16th year, but it looks a little different this winter.
Instead of a night out at the silver screen, the outdoors film festival is coming to you – allowing viewers to stream films from the comfort of their own home.
The film lineup is packed full of stellar films this year, featuring athletic pursuits in the mountains, gorgeous cinematography, stories of how the snowsports community is adapting to a changing environment, and more.
As in previous years, a portion of proceeds from the screening will benefit our local chapters.
Spanning the entire state, our chapters are the heart of their communities and provide opportunities for volunteers, members, and outdoor enthusiasts to come together for wildlands education and advocacy. Use this link to purchase your ticket and a portion of proceeds will directly support MWA’s chapter initiatives and efforts.
Tickets are $10 per individual or $20 per household/group. Instructions on how to stream the films will be sent to the email you register with.

Saunter with a Naturalist in the Morning with Montana Natural History Center
Crazy Canyon Trailhead
Location: Pattee Canyon, Crazy Canyon Trailhead / Missoula, Montana
Bring your curiosity and your own naturalist knowledge and join Montana Natural History Center Naturalist Ser Anderson on a naturalist saunter. We will focus on exploring the changing seasons, making observations, following our curiosity, and learning from each other. Whether you are an experienced naturalist or just starting out, this walk is for you. Everyone has something to learn and knowledge to share.
We may shorten the walk in response to inclement weather, but inclement weather can produce its own interesting observations so the walks will not be canceled unless it is a question of safety.
What to bring:
Mask (we will practice social distancing and wear masks when together)
Your favorite naturalist tools:
binoculars, magnifying glasses, field guides, journals, etc.. We will have some binoculars, magnifying glasses and collection containers available to borrow as well.

Shrek the Musical JR. with Missoula Children’s Theatre
Live Streaming
The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) is excited to wave the “freak flag” and raise the collective laughter level of the world as it presents Shrek The Musical JR. This hilarious, family-favorite show will be available for streaming Saturday, Feb. 20 at 7pm and Sunday, Feb. 21 at 3PM, 5PM, and 7PM.
Who would have guessed that a grumpy green ogre, a sarcastic donkey, and a fiercely independent princess would become everyone’s favorite twisted fairytale? Banished from his own swamp by the tiny terror, Lord Farquaad, ogre Shrek reluctantly befriends chatty Donkey and Princess Fiona, who has a deep green secret of her own. Through a plethora of fantastic characters, humor, and high-energy music, Shrek The Musical JR. celebrates individuality, acceptance, and the perfection of imperfection.
Director Kelsey Seals says the line “What makes us special makes us strong” from the song “Freak Flag” really illustrates the joyful self-acceptance themes of Shrek The Musical JR.. These themes may especially resonate with its cast, made up of students in grades 6-12. Seals added that this production is a “junior script,” which means that it’s shorter than the Missoula Community Theatre production staged several years ago, “but still features most of the great music and storytelling in the full production. And the audience will notice many of the same iconic lines from the movie!”
Seals has been thrilled with the rehearsal process of the “exceptional cast of students” who fill the rehearsal space with noticeably positive energy. “I think every single one of us is grateful to have the chance to safely create theatre during this weird time, and we have a genuine excitement to be in rehearsal.”
Shrek The Musical JR. is available to stream for $10 (plus service fee) at MCTinc.org. This production is sponsored by Langel & Associates, PC; Missoula Pediatric Dentistry, PC; Blackfoot; and Missoula Current.
