Here's the Blurb about it.......................
Wild Coast – Adventures in South Georgia Island & BC’s Great Bear Rainforest Join naturalists Hayley Shephard and Maureen Gordon for an evening of adventure travel, wildlife conservation and the story of following dreams. It is an odyssey seen through images and film of two of our Earth’s great natural havens: South Georgia Island and the Great Bear Rainforest. Travel information will also be available.
Kayaking to Save the Albatross: Vancouver Island based wilderness guide Hayley Shephard set out to attempt the very first solo sea kayak expedition around the remote Sub-Antarctic Island of South Georgia to raise awareness for the Albatross.
- While Hayley paddled alone beside this gale torn island, wildlife and weather dictated her every move and a battle with obstacles and setbacks were endless. The presentation 'A Beautiful Burden' encompasses the human elements of courage, character and personal challenge while a dream is being fulfilled. Albatross will take the spotlight as Hayley links their unique behaviors and admirable feats to the devastating situation which may eliminate them from our planet. Entertaining story-telling, stunning images and captivating video stylishly merge the imperative tale of the Albatross and one woman's dream to kayak alone around a treacherously spectacular island to help save a magnificent bird.
Working on the BC schooner Maple Leaf for seven years, in BC fjords and archipelagos that are hundreds of miles from the last road, has shown Victoria guide Maureen Gordon how adventure tourism is helping to save bears, whales and seabirds on the BC coast.
- Just 10 years ago, most grizzly bears ran in fear from humans; now a combination of conservation and ecotourism in remote coastal areas has created conditions where female bears nurse cubs in front of the Maple Leaf’s guests. Through beautiful video and beautiful photos captured on Maple Leaf expeditions, Maureen will share stories of wildlife trusting humans – and the hope that ecotourism can help protect these rugged fjords and archipelagos, some of the planet’s last wild places.Sailing the Great Bear Rainforest & Haida Gwaii:
