The Epagneul Breton Foundation, Inc. sponsored a presentation by outdoor enthusiast Scott Linden at the CEB-US National Conclave in December 2023. Linden is an award-winning author, television and podcast producer, and educator on many types of outdoor sports and activities. Among his many credits, he is the producer of the television series Wingshooting USA and podcast Outdoor Nation, author of several books and an enthusiastic presenter on outdoor subjects.
