GoodWood

Forest communities can have both jobs and trees.


A printer-friendly version of this page 45 minutes
Closed Captioned

Directed by David Springbett and Heather MacAndrew
Produced by Asterisk Productions for CBC's "Nature of Things"
Hosted by David Suzuki



The question that lies at the heart of the ongoing debate about the world's forests is whether we can halt deforestation while still sustaining communities that depend on the forest for their livelihood.

GOODWOOD looks at four forestry-based places where communities are discovering - sometimes with help from surprising quarters - that it can be done.

From a village chair-making project in Honduras to a design school in Nelson, B.C., and from a community-based forestry in Mexico to more than 3,000 items from certified wood sold in a British retail chain, vital links are being made to keep people employed, while at the same time preserving the world's forests.

Reviews
"It's an inspiring, heart-lifting film about the possibilities that await those who learn to see old things in new ways."
Vancouver Sun

"The film's basic message rings clear throughout: It's possible to have jobs and trees. It just takes a little innovative thinking."
Forest Magazine

"One of the few (videos) that offers a look at what it will take to make forests profitable without denuding them...Recommended for academic and medium to large libraries particularly in areas where deforestation is an unusually sensitive issue."
Christopher Lewis, American University, MC Journal
