The Speakers Series

The Speakers Series presents-“In Search of Lost Trees” is a folk song cycle, created and performed by singer-songwriter and storyteller David Newland. In the summer of 2023, David and his 11-year-old son travelled to Northern Ontario, looking for trees he had planted as a tree-planter in the early 1990s. On Wednesday, February 14, the Speakers series is thrilled to present David and the tale of the journey as it unfolds in stories, songs, and images, asking “what it means to live in this time of tremendous change?”. David Newland is a writer, musician and scholar and he travels widely from coast to coast to coast “making Canada better known to Canadians and the world”. The Speakers Series happens on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:00 – 9:00 pm at the Haliburton Highlands Outdoor Association Fish Hatchery. Admission is $15/person payable (cash) at the door.
