Dep. Commissioner for Natural Resources), Ellen Kalish (Ravensbeard Wildlife Center), Jim Crul (Catskill Fly Fishing Center), Michael Kudish (natural historian), Mark Ruffalo (actor and anti-fracking activist), Robert Titus (geologist), and Dave and Carol White (hiking guidebook authors). ©2014. Running time is 59 minutes.

“To Be Forever Wild is an important and breathtaking film about one of the most beautiful places on earth—its sights, its wonders, its people. The film reminds us that the Catskill Mountains are a national treasure.” ~Congressman Maurice Hinchey (Ret.)
