Roderick Haig-Brown House



Trevor Herriot describes himself as “a prairie naturalist who writes books, essays, and radio documentaries about the intersection of culture and nature on the northern Great Plains.”

Since mid-November 2011 he has been the Writer-in-Residence at the Roderick Haig-Brown House on the northwest edge of Vancouver Island's Campbell River. This continues for a few more weeks, until mid-April 2012.

This video is a short piece on the Writer-in-Residence program and his time there this winter. Some shots of the property and the river, and he gets to talk a bit about the Haig-Brown legacy--which will also be the topic of a lecture he will be presenting for Earth Hour on March 31 (here is some information on that event.)

You can also follow Trevor’s experience at the Roderick Haig-Brown House on his blog, “Trevor Harriot’s Grass Notes”, beginning with his post of Nov 15, 2011.
