Another Side of the Forest

The Canadian forest with science on its side--a fascinating look at recent developments that aid and sometimes improve on nature. Turning a Newfoundland bog into woodland, fostering British Columbia seedlings that withstand mechanical planting, inoculating Ontario elms against the bark beetle, devising ways of controlling the arch enemy, fire--these are some of the many experiments shown being carried out in laboratories and in the field to protect and conserve Canada's vast forest reserves.
