Black Hills National Forest Podcast-ForestNet

The Black Hills National Forest is making Podcast available to the public as another way to deliver audio and video information. The files are easily downloaded and can be played on your office or home desktop computer, portable Mp3 player, or laptop since they are initially being distributed in Mp3 and .mov files.

These Podcast are short (usually 5-7 minutes) quick briefs of current events or issues. From time to time, we'll add programs that are longer in the form of speeches and video presentations.

New Podcast will be added periodically.
