This 1950 documentary examines the penalties of forest destruction: fire, flood, wasted resources and barren lands. The film describes measures to preserve Canada's prime source of national wealth. Scenes of the wilderness created by stripping land of protective trees show the need to halt careless exploitation. Contrasting the slow process of re-seeding with the swift, modern methods of felling trees, the film urges planned cutting to ensure a protected yearly crop.

Une courte histoire du bois provenant de nos forêts. Ce film se prête à une comparaison avec des films éducatifs contemporains sur le sujet de l'exploitation des ressources naturelles. Est-ce que la situation des forêts a vraiment changé?
