So many people have come together through the Save Our Old Forests campaign, started in Annapolis County, within Mi'kma'ki.
The folks behind it have recently hosted a successful music festival to raise awareness and funds, and to provide connection, support and inspiration for all those who care about the trees and animals in our Wabanaki Acadian forests.
In this special SOOFstock episode, meet some of the people involved (from musicians to volunteers), glimpse a rainy forest walk at the proposed Goldsmith Lake wilderness areas with Bob Bancroft and Donna Crossland, and get a small taste of some music at the festival!
