“It will start with a shovel and an acorn, but we might just change the world.”
Every year we cut down billions of trees — only 5% of the world’s old growth forests remain intact today. Yet trees are one of this planet’s most significant creators of food, new medicines, and oxygen. Forests hold the answer to many of the world’s problems, from climate change to human health and well-being.
Enjoy a gourmet dinner and take a virtual walk in the woods with beloved scientist and author, Diana Beresford-Kroeger, as she reveals our profound connection to the ancient and sacred northern forests and the essential role that they play in sustaining the health of our planet.
About the film
In Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees, Beresford-Kroeger explores our profound biological and spiritual connection to trees. From Japan to California and Ireland, to Germany, to Vancouver Island and across to the Great Boreal Forest, Diana meets people who are taking the lead to replant, restore, and protect the last of these great ancient species forests. As the journey progresses the film explores the science, folklore, and history of this essential, and often overlooked, ecosystem, reminding us that when we improve our profound human connection to woodlands we can, not only, restore our health — we can restore our planet.
