My Calendar

On the heels of Covid-19, the entire globe is facing another dilemma, that of climate change. There is one leading answer, the global bioplan. The parameters of this bioplan involve positive action from the entire human family. Acclaimed botanist, medical biochemist and author, Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger will explain the science behind this bioplan in simple layman’s terms. Once understood and enacted, we will never return to the darkness of this year, 2020.

Diana Beresford-Kroeger

Scientist and author Diana Beresford-Kroeger possesses a unique combination of western scientific training and an understanding of the knowledge and methods of a wide variety of traditional and alternative sources. She works to bring a better understanding and appreciation of the scientific complexities of nature to the general public. Beresford-Kroeger’s concept of bioplanning challenges ordinary people to develop a new relationship with the natural world, to view the environment as a biological system and to perform the ecological task of replanting the global forest. Her books include The Sweetness of a Simple Life, The Global Forest, Arboretum Borealis: A Lifeline of the Planet, Arboretum America: A Philosophy of the Forest, and A Garden for Life. Her latest book is To Speak for the Trees: My Life’s Journey From Ancient Celtic Wisdom To a Healing Vision of the Forest. Beresford-Kroeger was elected as a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 2011, and in 2016 the Society named her one of 25 women explorers of Canada.

A feature documentary about her work, the Canadian Screen Awards-nominated Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees will be available throughout SHIFT 2020.

In partnership with Nature at McMaster.
