"The forest is not merely an expression or representation of sacredness, nor a place to invoke the sacred; the forest is sacredness itself." --Richard Nelson
Understory: A Journey into the Tongass National Forest
Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rainforest in the world, is in jeopardy. Covering most of southeastern Alaska, it is part of the world's last intact temperate rainforests which spans from Northern California to Alaska. Three friends who care deeply about the perils to the forest caused by the logging of old growth trees, document the "battle against short sighted greed and the ruin of one of the last rainforests in the world," reaching previously unseen parts of the forest by sailboat. They show poignantly how the fight to keep trees standing in Alaska is critical to our planet and what it looks like to see a beautiful forest, which contains more life than any other kind of forest, turned into a commodity.
