Description:
John Dargavel weaves together the story of industrial development and forest use with the slow acceptance of the case for forest conservancy. He show's how various 'resource regimes' evolved, and how they fashioned the forests in different ways: ecologically, spatially and socially. He then describes the challenges to these established patterns since the 1970's: industrial restructuring, wood chip exports, unsustainable harvesting and the rise of the environmental movement.
