Wilderness 50 - Initial Powerpoint Outline

Wilderness 50 - For Local Communities To Use & Modify - For Local Presentations

Initial Powerpoint Outline

Here's a preliminary draft outline for the Wilderness 50 Powerpoint

Each local showing can use the show and add their local perspective to it.
(Many local places do not have the time or resources to create a full presentation.
With this presentation many more groups can make this presentation locally
and add to it as they find useful.)

Select photos from the Forever Wild Concert will be part of each slide.

Send good ideas for text, topics to include ...
The inspiring Forever Wild Tour - 2006 - Flyer
should bring up some useful material.

Forever Wild has promoted the saving of our last wild places, respect for environment, and protection of all of Earth's fellow species. Over the past twenty years Forever Wild has not only encouraged the public to get out into the natural world, but it has inspired people to care about and take action on behalf of our beautiful planet. Jim is particularly proud to know that the show, his experience, and his message have motivated several young people to actually change their life's direction and go to work for environmental organizations. Forever Wild is a unique concert, and the fact that Jim has been touring with it for so many years speaks to his success at being able to reach people.
