thank you so much- its so good to see Jerry and like Old Growth he hasn't changed a bit in the 30 years--- For folks who are new to Jerry let me share a little story- in the mid 1980s when we were doing as Jerry describes "changing forest management". .there were "wars in the woods" many people were afraid for the changes, changes in ownership, employment, management. . Bill Clinton called a Forest Summit in Portland to talk the issue- it was televised and I remember seeing Jerry Sitting At the Right Hand of the President of the United States- he was speaking the truth of science and what we were already learning about ecosystems, resilience, mychoryzal fungi, water, wildlife- I was in awe- here we were seeing the powerful presidential decision maker getting a briefing from the most powerful forest professor in the West- a tenured forestry faculty at hte UW School of Forestry, interns, grants, a proposed Forest Science Center getting funding in Forks- I was elated-- Monday morning I woke up to a barage of phone calls- over the weekend this mny who had sat with the President-- had the UW clean out his office, ,let his interns to and reassign Franklin to a sort of infamy--- Jerry left and worked in Chile for a few years- but seeing this video reminds me of his passion, authenticity, and willingness to speak truth to power- thanks to the new generation of forest ecologists, landowners, Tribal leaders and people who can see the forest for the trees- its still awe inspiring. thanks!
right on! no more cutting of old growth! and we don't need to build houses out of wood. i live in Bend, Oregon and the forest service is now clearcuting a lot do to their fear of wild fire!
I have 40 ac of forest, development of other agricultural products a methods are needed to allow for an 80-100 year rotation. Small forest holders do not have enough trees to function as an industrial forest.
i am able feel this - a plantation can never evoke such emotions like a real forest - people made jokes about me - but i have this deep experience - landscape is alive - an entity - because it is not possible to express such happenings to ordinary citysens - they think this would be only a belive - there is no fact to this assumption
I really like Dr. Jerry Franklin, we need more wise old men with intelligence, humility, humor, and above all wisdom. " If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5
maybe with humility... so joyful about this film!

protect this man at all costs
We need more foresters like this man here.
It's important what he said about water yield...how plantations use more water, and how longer rotations can lead to higher quality water.
Amazing video! Conveys the genius and complexity of forest ecosystems in a deceptively simple way. This needs to be shared much more widely!!

The government should sponsors professional miyawaki gardeners to fix up forests….24/7 365 days a year or at least from spring to fall

It's all about profits in this world. Short-sighted.
