In October 1984, the Pennsylvania Wilderness Act designated Hickory Creek and Allegheny Islands as Wilderness Areas in the Allegheny National Forest, forever protecting these special places in their natural condition for future generations to use and enjoy.

One of America’s most unique folksingers and backcountry travelers, Walkin’ Jim Stoltz (http://www.walkinjim.com), on tour from the mountains of Montana, is bringing his powerful multi-media show, Forever Wild, to Erie on Oct. 3rd to help celebrate this 25th anniversary. The mix of stunning photography, stories, and music make this one-of-a-kind concert an inspiring journey into our nation’s wilderness areas.

Tickets for the concert available from Friends of Allegheny Wilderness ­ mail check or money order payable to:

Walkin’ Jim gets his name from nearly 27,000 miles he has walked through the wild country of North America. Carrying a guitar and writing his songs along the way, his lyrics express a great love and respect for the Earth and the wild places he knows so well. Known for his powerful baritone and emotion-packed vocals, Stoltz’s Forever Wild show is much more than a concert. It combines live music and poetry with stunning, multi-image slides to create a stirring celebration of the natural world. Stoltz is veteran of more than 30 years of performing. In this year’s show he will be sharing images and songs from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, his Yellowstone to Yukon walk, the Utah canyon country, the Northern Rockies, and wild places all across America.
