The latest talent to join Adventure Canada’s expedition team has published six books on nature and gardening. Her forthcoming book, To Speak for The Trees, will discuss her journey from ancient Celtic wisdom to a healing vision of the forest.
Prolific conservationist Diana Beresford-Kroeger goes to all lengths to get the message of loving our planet to the world. She has chosen Adventure Canada as her latest vessel, travelling from Canada back to her roots on the Ireland Circumnavigation to spread knowledge from ancient Celtic wisdom to using botany and biochemistry to combat climate change. Adventure Canada has just confirmed the partnership between Irish-born internationally renowned botanist, biochemist, and author, who will sail alongside guests on the new Ireland Circumnavigation, June 9–20, 2019.
Beresford-Kroeger brings with her a unique combination of western scientific training and an understanding of a wide variety of traditional and alternative sources of knowledge. She is known for her ability to bridge the gap between scientific complexities and the understanding of the general public. This is an excellent match for Adventure Canada, a company that advocates for positive change through knowledge transfer direct from local communities to the guests aboard each expedition.
Beresford-Kroeger’s areas of expertise are a triple threat, and her accomplishments are many—including the discovery of cathodoluminescence, an optical and electromagnetic phenomenon, in biological materials. From 1973 to 1982, she conducted research at the University of Ottawa physiology department in conjunction with the Ottawa Heart Institute, specializing in hemodynamics. Her forthcoming and seventh book, To Speak for the Trees, will be published by Random House.
Aboard Ireland Circumnavigation, Beresford-Kroeger will conduct presentations about Ireland’s plants and nature as well as her life’s works. She will also be on hand throughout the voyage to chat with guests during mealtimes and on deck between sailings from place to place.
About Ireland Circumnavigation
Ireland Circumnavigation begins in Dublin on June 9, 2019, when guests will board Adventure Canada’s ship, the Ocean Endeavour, to sail around Ireland and experience its friendly folk, rolling countryside, charming villages, and rugged seascapes. Highlights of the expedition include sailing past the picturesque Skellig Islands (featured in the Star Wars film The Last Jedi), touring the beautiful Dingle Peninsula, visiting the mysterious and unique Giant’s Causeway and exploring the huge Rock of Cashel, an extensive historic site featuring Celtic art and medieval architecture. The expedition will also include the beautiful Ring of Kerry, as well as castles, cathedrals, national parks, Irish pubs, vibrant cities and villages, and the dramatic Cliffs of Moher—which are up to two hundred metres tall and featured in the classic film, The Princess Bride. Guests will also visit Tory Island, a remote island inhabited by a small Gaelic community of fewer than two hundred people.
The expedition is from June 9–20, 2019, with starting prices of $5,995 USD per person. It begins and ends in Dublin, Ireland and takes place aboard the 198-passenger Ocean Endeavour vessel.
