Featuring The Fiddlin’ Foresters

Join us for our Conference Dinner and help us welcome back by popular demand “The Fiddlin’ Foresters”, a nationally recognized musical group composed of five Forest Service employees and volunteers from the Rocky Mountain Region. Their lively program consists of old-time tunes played on fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass, Autoharp, and harmonica accompanied with audiovisuals. A running narration and commentary points out the history and importance of conservation and public lands and lends itself to an emotional and inspiring production for all.

You will find their performance, inspirational, educational, and quite entertaining!
