Tammy Rea, along with Midori Nagai spent 20 years with Sticks and Stones recording and sharing stories about Haliburton County.

A look back at the stories around some of the videos, from the mysterious,Highland Wheeler (the ghost on a bike), to the comical (Haliburton Highlands Museum) to the poignant (Minden Pride). And of course, just like Woodstock, can you say you were there – in minus 25 degree weather – for the outdoor screening of “There’s Something in the Water?”

Years before that Kris Kadwell and Al Sumpter with frequent host Barry (Bazza) Hayward, created and produced CHTV, pioneering television for the Haliburton Highlands. The shows ran one evening each week in Minden and Haliburton from 1994 to 1999.

Enjoy an evening of looking back at the county’s unique and colourful people and events, and some of the stories behind the stories.

What does it mean to love a forest?

In this talk, Ethan Tapper, a forester, bestselling author and content creator from Vermont, will draw from his work as a forester and his book How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World to discuss what it means to care for forests and other ecosystems at this moment in time. How do we respond to the harmful legacies of the past? How do we use our species’ incredible power to heal rather than to harm? How do we reach toward a better future? In a time in which many believe that “protecting” ecosystems means protecting them from ourselves, Ethan argues that humans must take action to help ecosystems heal and to move into a more abundant future, and that to do so is an act of care and compassion – of love.

Ethan’s message is at once compassionate and pragmatic, clear-eyed and hopeful, sobering and inspiring – a powerful new vision for how we can build a world that works for all of its ecosystems and all of its people.
