THE TEMPERATE RAIN FOREST

16 minutes/Grades 4-Adult

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada/A film by Don
White

This beautifully photographed film examines the characteristics
and ecology of the coastal rain forest of the Pacific northwest.
The high canopy of tall trees and the fragrant decay of the damp
woodland floor display a lush mix of majestic conifers and
deciduous growth. Inhospitable to larger mammals, the tangled
undergrowth teems with frogs and salamanders. This film reminds us
of the exquisite beauty of the temperate rain forest and of our
obligation to preserve its place in nature.

• "This is a highly impressive film that left two classroom
  audiences unusually silent. It is well edited, employs minimal
  narration, an excellent musical background, and superb
  photography. The film has a place in college ecology,
  environmental science, botany, and vertebrate history classes and
  is outstanding for general audiences." Choice
  

• "The curriculum nature of this film makes it suitable for
  science classes in junior high school and above, as well as for
  museums and nature centers." School Library Journal
  

• "A good introduction to a unit on biomes as it relates plant
  adaptations to climate and soil. It could also be used to
  demonstrate man's impact in a delicately balanced ecosystem." The
  American Biology Teacher
