Join us and the Durand High School Madrigal Choir from Durand, Michigan, as we celebrate the holiday season with a reinterpretation of that Christmas classic, the 12 Days of Christmas! 

Sing along with the following lyrics: 

"On the 12th day of Christmas, the forest sent to me: 

  • 12 rangers ranging 

  • 11 elk herds grazing 

  • 10 goats a leaping 

  • 9 flowers blooming 

  • 8 mules a packing 

  • 7 swans a swimming 

  • 6 geese a laying 

  • 5 gold rings 

  • 4 shade trees 

  • 3 trailheads 

  • 2 turtle bogs 

and wise words from a bear named Smokey!" 

Happy holidays from all of us at the Forest Service!
