SUMMARY:Us & Them
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over a decade\, US AND THEM is a deeply visceral film about transformation through human connection. It all begins when filmmaker Krista Loughton is questioned by addiction expert Dr. Gabor Maté about her need to relieve pain in the world. This takes her back in time to when she befriended four chronically homeless people in an effort to help them heal their lives. \nUnder the mentorship of Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr.\, Krista decides to teach her friends how to balance on the First Nations Medicine Wheel. In the beginning\, there is connection and hope\, but unfortunately\, none are able to conquer their addictions or significantly change their lives. And then tragically\, one dies. Out of her league\, Krista seeks out the counsel of Dr. Maté\, who forces her to confront her own motivations. Krista confesses her own emotional struggles with her remaining street friends. They display an extraordinary empathy and wisdom no one could have anticipated. \nThe current pandemic has put a major spotlight on an issue that has been growing for decades: homelessness. The situation is intense and communities are divided as we grapple with the converging crises of homelessness\, overdose\, and COVID-10. To provide an opportunity for people to connect and learn\, the Campbell River & District Coalition to End Homelessness\, with support from the Strathcona Community Health Network\, and the Campbell River & District Chamber of Commerce\, is hosting a free\, blended in-person/virtual screening of the documentary US AND THEM\, followed by a community conversation in panel form. \nPending COVID regulations\, people will be able to choose to watch the film and discussion at the Tidemark Theatre or from the comfort of their own homes via virtual platforms. \nDonations to the Campbell River & District Coalition to End Homelessness will be gratefully accepted at the door.

SUMMARY:Falling Boundaries: New Perspectives on Old Growth Forest
DESCRIPTION:“Falling Boundaries: New Perspectives on Old Growth Forest” will present three contemporary viewpoints concerning the state of Old Growth Forests on Vancouver Island and surrounding areas.  From artistic\, scientific and First Nations perspectives\, the evening will highlight 3 illustrated talks.  David Ellingsen\, a photographic artist\, will speak about his recent series Falling Boundaries.  Gina Thomas\, a Guardian Watchman for the Tlowitsis First Nation\, will share her experiences and observations of the accumulative impacts of natural resource extraction on her traditional territory.  Julie Neilsen\, currently completing her PhD in forest ecology at Simon Fraser University\, is working as a consultant for the Nanwakolas Council Society in Campbell River. \nA Q/A session will follow the three presentations. This is an Art+Earth Festival lecture. \nDavid Ellingsen \nDavid Ellingsen is a Canadian photographer originally from Cortes Island creating images that speak to the relationship between humans and the natural world. He works predominantly in long-term\, cumulative projects with a focus on climate\, biodiversity and deforestation. Ellingsen’s photographs are part of the permanent collections of the Chinese Museum of Photography\, South Korea’s Datz Museum of Art and Canada’s Beaty Biodiversity Museum and Royal British Columbia Museum. They have appeared with National Geographic and awarded been First Place at the Prix de la Photographie Paris and the International Photography Awards. \nSynopsis of his talk: With an immigrant/settler family history intimately connected with the forest as a backdrop\, David Ellingsen’s new project Falling Boundaries explores deforestation in British Columbia over the last century. Weaving together threads of resource extraction and the reverberating effects of colonialism within the deepening environmental crisis\, Ellingsen will speak about the creation of the work and the intentions behind it. \nGina Thomas \nGina Thomas is a band member of the Tlowitsis Nation and the Senior Guardian Watchman\, a Coastal First Nations organization that ensures sustainability in resource management\, regulation enforcement and effective implementation of land and marine use agreements. Her background includes years working in forest research\, silviculture\, and delving into forest engineering. Gina has a degree in Forest Resource Management from the University of British Columbia\, a diploma in Natural Resource Technology from Nicola Valley Institute of Technology and a Stewardship technician certificate from Vancouver Island University. Gina worked for the band over the past couple decades carrying out cultural heritage reconnaissance and large cultural cedar surveys and currently spends her days patrolling and monitoring her traditional territory. \nSynopsis of her talk: Gina will share her experiences and observations of the accumulative impacts of natural resource extraction has had on her traditional territory. \nJulie Nielsen \nJulie Nielsen\, a white-settler\, is a Registered Professional Biologist specializing in forest ecology with a background in watershed management\, forestry\, conservation biology\, and tree physiology. She was born and raised in Coast Salish territory (North Vancouver)\, and has worked as a tree planter\, wildland firefighter\, forest engineer\, biologist\, and forest hydro-ecologist across British Columbia. Julie is currently completing her PhD at Simon Fraser University and working as a consultant for the Nanwakolas Council Society in Campbell River. Her doctoral research bridges aspects of natural science with social science\, using western redcedar (Thuja plicata or ‘wilkw’ in the Kwak’wala language) as a common subject of interest across the disciplines of policy and law\, anthropology\, and ecology. Julie’s work and research focus on the intergenerational stewardship of cedar by First Nations and the historic and current use of Large Cultural Cedar trees by First Nation cedar carvers. She has shared her research and perspectives about these subjects as an invited speaker for several public presentations. Her most recent work has been featured by the CBC and the Globe and Mail. \nSynopsis of her talk: Julie will share her perspective on the continued industrial harvesting of the old-growth temperate rainforest on Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland of British Columbia. As a forest ecologist and ally of Indigenous peoples\, she will speak about what she has learned through both her academic and work experience\, and from her close relationships with traditional First Nation cedar carvers. She will also discuss the stewardship of cedar in this era of ‘ecosystem-based management’\, the value of cedar as a cultural resource\, and the repercussions of harvesting old-growth cedar on First Nation carving practices. \nTickets: $17 Admission In Person or Live Stream (+applicable taxes & fees) \nClick here to buy tickets for the Live Stream.

SUMMARY:Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Annual Haig-Brown Lecture\nFinding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest\nAn Evening with Suzanne Simard\nThe 2021 Haig-Brown Lecture will feature Dr. Suzanne Simard\, a world leading forest ecologist.  Dr. Simard will address the complexity of our forest ecosystem and base her talk on her bestselling book “Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest”.  This will be the 12th Annual Haig-Brown Lecture\, created to honour the legacy of Roderick and Ann Haig-Brown.  Roderick and Ann were early and leading voices in Campbell River for environmental and social issues. \nDr. Suzanne Simard is appearing virtually from her home for safety reasons.  \nBio: \nFINDING THE MOTHER TREE: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest \nFrom the world’s leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest–a moving\, deeply personal journey of discovery. \nDR. SUZANNE SIMARD was born in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia and was educated at the University of British Columbia and Oregon State University. She is Professor of Forest Ecology in the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Forestry. \nSuzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; she’s been compared to Rachel Carson\, hailed as a scientist who conveys complex\, technical ideas in a way that is both dazzling and profound. Her work has influenced filmmakers (the Tree of Souls of James Cameron’s Avatar) and her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. \nNow\, in her first book\, Simard brings us into her world\, the intimate world of the trees\, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths–that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp\, but are a complex\, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social\, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. \nIn a talk\, Dr. Simard can discuss: \n\nWhy we should collectively change the way we see and think of trees:Forests are not simply the source of timber or pulp\, they are a complex\, interdependent circle of life and they communicate with each other through underground systems of fungi and roots. Learn how trees have evolved; how they perceive one another; learn and adapt their behaviors; recognize neighbors and remember the past; how they have agency about the future; elicit warnings and mount defenses; and compete and cooperate with one another.\nForests and Climate Change: How are our forests being affected by climate change? What should we be doing to protect and save our forests? Suzanne’s research clearly proves why it’s essential to prioritize saving the trees and how the trees could save us.\nStop\, collaborate\, and listen: Suzanne discusses why it’s important for the scientific community to adopt a symbiotic model that prioritizes collaboration over competition. She believes that only through collaboration can we face the global challenges of the environmental crisis\, global warming\, and deforestation boom we are currently living.\nMother Trees: What is the mysterious\, powerful force that connects and sustains others? The old large trees in forests are responsible for nurturing and connecting forests in the same profound ways that families and human societies do. Learn about the vital and inseparable bonds that enable all our survival.\n\nClick here to access a PDF copy of the book. \nTickets: $15 In Person or Live Stream Admission (+applicable taxes & fees) \nClick here to buy tickets for the Live Stream.
