The Land Between: Understanding Ontario’s Forgotten Transition Zone

Hosts Simon Payn and Dianne Woodcock welcome Leora Berman to discuss the vision and importance of The Land Between. Together they explore what makes this region ecologically unique, why it matters to biodiversity in Ontario, and how local communities play a vital role in protecting it. Leora explains the origins of the organization, the environmental pressures facing the region today, and how stewardship, conservation, and community awareness are deeply connected to the future of Haliburton County and beyond. This episode offers listeners a deeper understanding of the landscape many of us call home — and practical ways individuals can help protect the ecosystems and wildlife that depend on it.
