The Politics of trees
Description
This program with Bill Moyers looks at the ongoing debate on how we manage the rapidly disappearing old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. Is the timber industry pressuring the forest service to cut trees in violation of environmental laws? Are environmentalists hurting the economy of the Pacific Northwest? What effect has overcutting on private land during the 1980s had on our environment? Featured in the program are environmentalists, politicians, and industry representatives who debate these issues.
