One Man’s Journey From Canoe to Conservation


Listen Later

Hap Wilson joins the show this week. Hap is an award winning author, artist, photographer and conservationist. He has created a number of guidebooks that charted different waterways in Ontario and created the company Eco Trailbuilders to help safely build trails that are enjoyed by thousands every year. 

Hap also worked with famous actor Pierce Bronson and even taught him to paddle a canoe but also butted heads with him and the producers while working on the film Grey Owl over inaccuracies.
