It’s called Wilderness Wildlife Week and for twenty years people from across the country have headed to Pigeon Forge in the Smoky Mountains to take part.
Over 100 experts offer more than 175 seminars and hands-on workshops pertaining to plant and animal life, Smoky Mountain history, photography, outdoor activities and more.
