| Title: |
America's
Forests: A History of Resiliency and Recovery |
| Description of Resource: |
This
documentary covers the changes in the forests of the United States
from the time of European settlement until present day. You will
see how much of our natural world was altered, first by Native Americans
and later by pioneers. These early entrepreneurs turned nature (trees
and rivers) into commodities (lumber and travelways) as they moved
westward building our nation. Using actual film footage and still
photographs from the turn of the century, this video graphically
depicts the forest, watershed and wildlife conditions that led to
our first national conservation movement. This video is based on
a book of the same title by Douglas W. MacCleery. |
