Reflection/Evaluation

I worked on getting some additional speakers about Wilderness, Wildfire, Restoration, etc., but was not able to get commitments for enough speakers to help Susan Selbin set up a second day for the film festival. I was able to attend some, but not all of the speakers and films.
