The Power of Story

River Rally 2009: Keynote Speech

Author, photographer, and movement-builder Peter Forbes leads us on a journey into the role of story as force in bridging divides and re-shaping the conservation movement to be a stronger player in the new politics of America. Peter has worked throughout the world to record, protect and convey the importance of a strong human relationship with the land. After eighteen years of protecting land throughout New England for the Trust for Public Land, Peter created Center for Whole Communities to build stronger connections between people, land and community. Peter is the author and editor of several books about the connection between people and the land.
