The New Children's Forest Video

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Cortes Children’s Forest Trust has just released an incredible video, as part of fundraiser that will end of Tuesday November 29, 2022.

As the audio is strong enough to stand on its’ own, that is today’s program.

If you live on Cortes, you may recognise a few of these people by their voices: Al Huuskonen, Andy Ellingsen, Bruce Ellingsen, Christine Robinson, Daniel Tucker. Emma Mathieu, Kai Harvey, Kiera Tsaknoas, Paul Stamets, Tosh Harvey, Tzeporah Berman and Zyla Schmidt.

While you can imagine the trees, streams and animals in that video, it is not the same as seeing them. So I have embedded a link to the film on Cortes Currents, but you will also find it on the Cortes Childrens Forest Trust website.
