What if our last act could be a gift to the planet? Determined that his
final resting place will benefit the earth, musician, psychiatrist, and folk
dancer Clark Wang prepares for his own green burial while battling lymphoma.
The spirited Clark and his partner Jane, boldly facing his mortality,
embrace the planning of a spiritually meaningful funeral and join with a
compassionate local cemetarian to use green burial to save a North Carolina
woods from being clear-cut. 

 

With poignancy and unexpected humor, A Will for the Woods portrays the last
days of a multifaceted advocate - and one community's role in the genesis of
a revolutionary movement. As the film follows Clark's dream of leaving a
legacy in harmony with timeless cycles, environmentalism takes on a profound
intimacy.  

 

After the film join panellists and Good Green Death Project Instigators,
Susan Koswan and Ellen Newman to learn more about their project, what green
funeral and burial options are currently available in the region, and get
answers to all those questions you've been *dying* to ask. ;-)

Having a one-off Dandelion Festival+20 to celebrate 20 years since the first
one and 10 years since the passing of the Ontario Cosmetic Pesticides Ban

music, speakers, plant exchange and sale, earth-friendly exhibitors,
zero-waste event you'll find anywhere. It will be huge! The biggest! ;-)
