1:30 – 2:00 Paul Egginton, Lanark County Community Stewardship Council
Egginton will present an environmental perspective on forests, water and climate including examples from Lanark County. Find out how flows in our river systems are expected to change as the climate changes and how forests are very important biological agents that also control the timing and magnitude of river system flows. Can forests offset some of the potential impacts to our rivers from climate change?

2:30-3:00 Franz Klingender, Curator, Canada Agriculture Museum
Franz will outline the concept of Let's Talk Energy – Engaging Ideas for Canada's Future, a national multi-year program exploring Canada's energy production and consumption and the implications of greening the country's energy network. Franz will walk you through the new outdoor exhibit called Energy Park: Nature at Work at the Canada Agriculture Museum that explores energy use on Canadian farms, and takes a look at the technology for harvesting energy from renewable sources.

4 - 4:30 Diana Beresford-Kroeger

Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a botanist, medical biochemist and self-defined "renegade scientist," brings together ethnobotany, horticulture, spirituality and alternative medicine to reveal a path toward better stewardship of our natural world in the face of climate change.
