From the Canada
Carries On series, this archival film is about the industries that
draw their wealth from the raw material supplied by Canada's
forests. Filmed in the rain forests of the British Columbia coast,
it shows how giant conifers are felled, transported by water routes
to sawmills and cut into lumber or reduced to Canada's greatest
single export, newsprint. Realization of the need for conservation
has led to an extensive program of aerial stocktaking and a system
of planned cutting and reforestation.
