The Land Between Talking Circles


Listen Later

After a prolonged hiatus, thanks to the pandemic and other shifting priorities, The Land Between is bringing back its talking circles in Haliburton County and beyond to offer first-hand accounts and discoveries and to build a stronger understanding of the changes taking place in the forests of Haliburton County, particularly those pertaining to wildlife.It's not the first time these talking circles have been held by the organization, but the impact of the pandemic and subsequent return to normal activities has taken time. Now, as The Land Between revisits these talking circles, Berman is excited to hear from a variety of voices, both first nations, local harvesters, (formerly known as trappers), and members of the public.The focus of these talking circles will be on the impact of Eastern Wolves on other species found in the forests here and what people are seeing first-hand.
