Healthy Forests Healthy Communities

Nova Scotia Environmental Network Fall Gathering 2003

This year the NSEN Fall Gathering centres around the links between
healthy
forests and healthy communities. Our keynote speaker, Bob Bancroft, is a

well-known forestry and wildlife biologist and radio personality. Topics

range from managing woodlots for biodiversity, forestry restoration and
planting native species in your backyard or hedgerow to tree medicine
and
native lore, as well as developing creative solutions.

Youth will be part of the focus of this year's gathering, with workshops

and discussions aimed at young people interested in learning more about
Nova Scotia's forestry issues and becoming involved as
environmentalists.
Expect discussions,slide shows, theatre and interactive workshops in and
out of doors.

The week-end is a great opportunity for those working the forest,
organic
farmers and people interested in conservation to share mutual goals and
discuss ways to work together effectively. This is also a good way for
youth
to learn about the issues and find out how they can use their creativity
to
make a difference
FUN will also be a major focus of the NSEN's gathering, with a LIVE
BAND, FOOD, GAMES, and DISCUSSION!

On Friday night loosen up with theatre improv led by Hemlock Circus.
Saturday night will start out with an energetic ultimate frisbee game
followed by a live performance with Dusty Sorbet, a Halifax-based folk
singer who writes original music, and a live jam. Bring your
instruments.
Come listen and learn, plant seedlings, take part in discussions,
develop
actions, take a walk through the woods, be entertained and eat well.
