What a beautiful forest and great community!
When I lived in the Puget Sound area, I spent so much time hiking around the Elwha and was so excited to see the dams finally come down. It is disgusting and enraging that the DNR is still trying to sell off legacy forests, especially around the Elwha after finally winning the battle to get the dams removed. Good work, but I don't doubt that you'll face many more tough battles to save these forests in the years ahead.
Those trees were logged before the dams were built, you need to move back to where you came from and get out.
I really liked the footage and the people featured in this documentary. Thanks for bringing this topic of protecting our legacy forests some light.
Wow! What a wonderful film and such an important fight! ❤❤❤
Your video was so beautiful thank goodness for your victory. Thank you for offering this to medical.
Big leaf maples, Acer macrophyllum , such a place, save and let the forest growing old, as the ecosystem adapts naturally back to its roots!
I CANT BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT LET THE RAINFOREST BE CUT DOWN FOR TIMBER!! THATS SO DISGUSTING
Amazing film! Thank you.
An amazing film. Really shows the importance of preserving what forests are left! Thank you for making this and thank you for your work to defend the forests!
🙏🙏🙏🍀🌿
Powerful film. The pursuit of money is killing the Earth. We have to live at one with Mother Earth not kill her as said in the film "Death by a thousand cuts"
Thank you very much.
Thank you 💖
great video
Great mini documentary👌

Tears of sorrow for the clear cut scars and tears of joy for the small victories.
Thanks for the film.
As long as they don't export the timber. Our natural resources should be used in our own country.
It is ease for urban people to condemn logging when they have nice office jobs or have their head in the tax trough with government "work." If these people are really concerned about water quality for the river and Port Angeles residents they should hammer away at DNR to close the illegal gun range on Little River that has dumped tons of lead into the valley year after year. The forests grow back, the lead shot all across Little River valley can never be recovered.
Sad. They log our rivers in Oregon and it’s not ethical. Save the salmon and steelhead and restore quickly. In 10 years you’ll be able to get some piece back
Only CASH matters. Companies are citizens they are the only citizens that matter. DNR members on the take, taking the lead of the bought off supreme court. Above the laws.
It should be illegal to cut down lowland rainforest
Salmon return to where they were born. But no salmon were born above the dams which were on the Elwa. So why would salmon go there now?
90% of the profits from the timber industry are from taxpayers. You can harvest a mature tree for the price of a cheeseburger and remove it on taxpayer built roads whose amortization is spread over centuries. Welfare and tax gimmicks for the rich..
Selective cut not clear cut also stop selling raw logs out of the area keep local Timber companies in business let them sell processed wood
Should be building out of stone and concrete, or hemp bales or whatever. Enough of using wood already. With the climate changing, trees are more valuable standing in a forest. I’m just so sick of people who are more concerned with destroying for profit rather than protecting what we have left.
mycelium will bring it back.
The connection between the earth and man must be preserved more, lots more! I will see what I can do to help and help protect against the greed of the loggers.
