The Final Forest: The Battle for the Last Great Trees of the Pacific Northwest
The old-growth trees of America’s Pacific Northwest are the largest in the world. To walk in those forests leaves you speechless at the scale of the natural world. Yet, over 90% of those forests have already been destroyed by logging. This is the story of logging and extraction in those forests, the people who earn their living from the land, the people who spent their lives fighting to save the forests, and the spotted owl that was at the center of the legal decision that brought down the logging industry in the early 1990’s. We hear from remarkably different perspectives about how they want to live in a landscape that they all love.
