The Tête-à-Tête brings together Diana Beresford-Kroeger, Seth Klein and host Adrian Harewood to share their unique reflections on ways to heal the damaged earth and break the tightening trip of the climate crisis. Beresford-Kroeger is a world-renowned botanist, medical biochemist and author, whose work To Speak for the Trees uniquely combines western scientific knowledge and the traditional concepts of the ancient world. Klein is an author, policy researcher, social activist, media commentator on public policy issues, and founder of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a public policy research institute committed to social, economic and environmental justice. His life’s work has been immersed in climate change and inequality issues.

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. A feature documentary about her work Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees, appeared in 2017. To Speak for the Trees: My Life’s Journey From Ancient Celtic Wisdom To a Healing Vision of the Forest is the story of a remarkable scientist and her ideas that harvests all of Beresford-Kroeger’s knowledge about why trees matter and why trees are a viable, achievable solution to climate change.
