SANTA BARBARA,Calif. – When Chuck Leavell is touring with The Rolling Stones he is sharing his passion for music and trees. The award winning musician did both during a musical question and answer session at the 2017 FestForums held at the Fess Parker Resort in Santa Barbara. Leavell said he was ready to put music aside and focus on forest conservation when the Stones called in the 1980s. …But these days when he isn’t touring he is working his new show called America’s Forests with Chuck Leavell. PBS has aired the first few episodes. …Leavell began playing the piano at the age of 7 and his talent has allowed him to play music and visit forests around the world. For more information visit
