Watch Wasted Woods

"Wasted Woods" shows destructive forestry practices used on the west coast during the 1950's and 1960's. Focusing on clear cutting and the immense machinery that cut and processed the giant redwoods, the film reveals the rapid deterioration of the forest ecology and the disappearance of towns and businesses, along with the forests, in large areas of the west coast. As a bonus feature, this disk includes Paul Richards' "Requiem for the Forest Giants" acknowledging the great loss suffered by the planet and humanity with the destruction of the old growth forests during the 1960s.
