The Cycle of Life 2003 - Endangered Species 1. Orca Baby (2) (1) (4) (3) (5)
Listen to a sample
Orcas, bears, salmon, snakes, bison, frogs, songbirds, turtles, cedar trees and many other organisms at risk inhabit these songs, which are performed by Holly and the Dream Band, along with 2800 students from nine schools in Victoria and Vancouver.
Orca Baby was written in response to the question: How do you explain extinction to a baby?
Endangered Species points out that humans like to live in the same places as wildlife…which is why so many of them are at risk. Salmon Circle celebrates the ancient cycle of life that has sustained ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest for millennia. Landfill Blues is a raunchy anthem to recycling, reducing, refusing…and to the worms and wasps that do the dirty work of biological decomposition. Recycling a beverage container is an action within the power of a child that helps endangered species.

Cycle of Life/Recycle CD and Handbook for Educators Written by Holly Arntzen, Syd Cannings, Stephen Foster, Bruce Whittington. Illustrated by Donald Gunn. This project was born when Neil Hastie, the CEO of Encorp Pacific, asked ART producer Stephen Foster, “How would you educate children about the importance of recycling beverage containers?” Foster replied, “I’d make the connection with creatures that kids care about. Many children take a teddy bear to bed and talk to it at night. But how many cuddle a pop can? If they understand that by recycling a pop can, they can help their friend the Grizzly Bear, then a lot more containers will find their way into the recycling bins, rather than the garbage can.” Activities in many subjects are linked to song lyrics and make the connections between sustainability, ecological footprint, recycling and reducing our impact on the habitats of endangered species.

Classic watershed hits performed by Holly Arntzen and the Watershed Choir. In the fall of 1999, students and teachers at four schools on southern Vancouver Island supported the production of a music CD dedicated to appreciation, knowledge, and positive action on behalf of water stewardship. Holly gave a series of music residency programs, teaching songs to 248 students at Durrance, Beaver Lake, Strawberry Vale, and Spectrum schools. ART’s Stephen Foster coordinated the production and recording, and Lenny Ross of the Colquitz Watershed Stewardship Project developed a curriculum guide to help teachers use the songs to fulfill prescribed learning outcomes. WILD BC funded the program development. Since the CD’s release in December 1999, thousands of people have been directly affected by Running from the Mountains and ART’s musical residency program.
