Podcast Overview

Meet knowledge holders, foresters, naturalists, activists, scientists, visionaries, and outdoorsy people of all stripes to share delight in the wonders of forest ecosystems. We talk about issues of forestry, conservation and interconnected topics, and discover sustainable, ecological, respectful ways of relating to the forest. Maintaining and regenerating forest ecosystems is one of the most important necessities of our time, and contributes to everything from carbon sequestration to healthy children. Join Amanda Bostlund as she meets with various folks in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia) and beyond to talk about forests as our shared ground, for all species, humans and not. We explore the incredible value of thriving forests, methods and mindsets for their protection, and regenerative solutions for how we interact with and within them. One of the main purposes of this podcast is to hear opinions, perspectives and ideas from many different people, and not to treat any of them as the be all and end all. What you hear does not necessarily represent the opinions of the host. The hope is that you consider whatever content you hear for yourself and enjoy the journey of making sense of these complicated, interconnected issues of our time.

It's Better with Bees! A story of hope and collaboration

<p>Better with Bees is a student-run club focused on urban environmental sustainability at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, within the Sipekne'katik district of Mi'kma'ki.</p><p>In the words of Topsy Olatunji, a student member of Better with Bees: “Our project centers on involving the Mi'kmaw community in establishing a healing garden and a Wabanaki pollinator garden, topics I will delve into deeper in the episode. We aim to educate and cultivate environmental awareness on local bee populations and pollinators in our ecosystem.”</p><p>And from teacher Christopher Hall: “In the spring of 2022, Charles P. Allen High School (CPA) was approached by Alvéole, an urban beekeeping company, to house a beehive at the school. This beehive inspired the work that CPA’s Better With Bees does as a community change maker. Working with students we have developed a plan to not only make tangible impacts on climate change, but also to showcase a native species garden. By building a Wabanaki pollinator garden surrounding a Mi’kmaq Medicine Garden, we hope to demonstrate that gardening with native species is a beautiful urban possibility.”</p><p>Shared Ground host Amanda Bostlund was excited to speak with three of the many people involved in Better with Bees during Helping Nature Heal's 18th Seedy Saturday event in Bridgewater this February. Here's a bit about them, in order of appearance.</p><p>Topsy Olatunji is a proud member of The Better with Bees club at Charles P. Allen High School. As a member of both the media team and website subcommittee, she is consistently engrossed in their mission to promote sustainability within the urban environment.</p><p>Christopher Hall has been on staff at Charles P. Allen High School for 19 of his 26 years of teaching. Using both the academic setting and extracurricular activities, he is able to encourage students to draw on their strengths in the pursuit of meaningful goals.</p><p>Khaled Al-Sakkaf is a Grade 12 IB student who is deeply invested in the intersection of environmental sustainability. Currently, on Fridays, he devotes his time and skills to the Better with Bees Meadow Project, serving on the technology and data team. Through his involvement, he aims to harness his skills to drive positive change and sustainability initiatives. His commitment to volunteering reflects his belief in the power of innovation to address environmental challenges and create a better future for our planet. </p><p><strong>EPISODE RESOURCES:</strong></p><ul><li>Better with Bees <a href="https://betterwithbees.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cpasbetterwithbees/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@cpasbetterwithbees" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube</a></li><li><a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals</a>&nbsp;</li><li>From&nbsp; Sackville Rivers: <strong>“</strong><a href="https://www.sackvillerivers.ns.ca/post/the-legend-of-the-petroglyph-at-bedford-basin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Legend of the Petroglyph at Bedford Basin</a>” </li><li><a href="https://re3-quebec.org/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RE3 conference</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Alvéole <a href="https://www.alveole.buzz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.alveole.buzz/</a></li><li>Ne’ata’q Food Forest at the Bluenose Academy in Lunenburg<strong>&nbsp; </strong><a href="https://foodforestatbluenose.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://foodforestatbluenose.ca/</a></li><li>Cortado Tasting Room &nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/cortadotastingroom/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on Facebook</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thesheshed.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The She Shed</a> </li></ul><br/><p><em>Other Shared Ground episodes mentioned:...
