Forest Service, Culture, and Community showcased the occupational traditions of the USDA Forest Service on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. Festival participants represented the wide range of skills, experiences, and traditions of the Forest Service's 37,000 workers and the communities they serve. Tree pathologists and wildlife biologists, botanists and bird banders, archaeologists and environmental engineers joined with firefighters and smokejumpers, recreation specialists and backcountry rangers to engage visitors in educational activities, crafts demonstrations, and discussions that increased their understanding and appreciation of our nation's natural resources and those who care for them. Festival participants also included woodcarvers and basket makers, musicians and poets—several of them recipients of the National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
