Music Makes A Difference
Who is Walkin Jim

On August 20, 2011, over 400 people and 15 musicians joined us in Big Sky, Montana for the first "Forever Wild" concert celebrating the life of Walkin' Jim Stoltz. 

Walkin' Jim, who hiked more than 28,000 miles of rugged North American wilderness, was an explorerer, musician, photographer and writer who lived his "Forever Wild" vision to protect the Wild places of the planet. 

This master troubadour and friend, died in late 2010 after fighting a heroic battle with cancer.  See the Walkin' Jim site for more.


 Make a tax-deductible donation in Walkin' Jim's honor to make his "Forever Wild" vision a reality.
