A long-distance hiker, adventurer, author, painter, photographer, poet, wilderness activist, musician, songwriter, and troubadour for the Earth, Walkin’ Jim spent his life working to share the value of wild places. His legacy is carried on through his music, the Wild Wind Foundation, and the Kid for a Wild Scholarship.
Our mission is to continue in the forever wild spirit of Walkin’ Jim Stoltz by supporting opportunities for young people to access the outdoors in ways that foster a connection with others, themselves, and the natural world.
