    Presented by the American Forest Institute, this 1973 industrial film follows two young people as they learn about tree farming from an older forester. The production seeks to convince the audience of the importance and benefits of forestry against common ecological and moral arguments. The film shows its bias against such criticisms by portraying the character of Jennifer, who voices these concerns, as naive and impressionable.
