A Tale from the Woods | Full Documentary

Is it really “green” and “environmentally smart” to use clearcutting methods, like the forestry industry say? Or is it an outdated, inefficient and heavily carbon-emitting practice that does not belong in a world already struggling with forest fires and a climate crisis?
How would our relation to the forest change if we converted to selective logging instead?
”A Tale from the Woods” presents: Maria “Vildhjärta” Westerberg (artist, poet), Rebecka Le Moine (biologist/politician), Anders Lindroth (researcher at Lund University), Mikael Karlsson (eco forestry spokesperson), Andris Fågelviskare (tracker, nature guide) and Ben Bushill (carpenter, poet).
Directed and produced by Mattias Olsson for Campfire Stories. Musical score composed by Mischa Grind. Audio design by Jonas Källstrand. Audio mix by Boris Laible. Co-producer: John Nyberg.
Campfire Stories is a community funded project. Please consider becoming a Patron: / mattiasolsson

    I wandered in here, not only looking for a film about forests, but one that is true. And I found it. Every bit is deeply beautiful. It'll keep me going and connected for a long time, it'll help me do my bit; the city is making me stunted. Thank you very much, Mattias, for this film. My very best to you and your team members. Never stop. 🌲

    I LOVE MARIA SO MUCH!! I did the punk thing as a youth....it isnt the answer, just a diversion, when I stopped the substance abuse and rebelling I too got sick. Very sick. I was an animal loving kind kid who got shoved through the sausage making machine too. Now I live on 30 acres on the edge of a forest and my vitality is returning...slowly. Seeing these films reflects my own journey and the absolute truth Maria speaks. Im soo pleased I stumbled across them! Thanks from far away forest in NZ.

    Thank you for this very sensitive documentary of a great "mixture" of perspectives and personalities... My takeaway is that scientists are studying the obvious... nature is natural and artificial is created by humans... destroying for profit and trying to compensate... (for profit) the people who live so close with nature have a deep sense of life and trust in the connection... as we are part of the ecosystem/biodiversity.... 💙💚🌏 beautiful poem... thank you 🤍

    I think we have become dominated by greed, and above all the greedy who have been successful in their greed. In other words, the super rich . And unfortunately, most successful politicians are very rich too. So if a film like this can show that natures' way is even more productive, maybe they will let things be done differently, and not be in fear of losing their ''wealth''. I hope so .

There are too many ignorant people on this Earth who would understand this film, unfortunately. There are too many humans who put themselves first above all living beings. No, they put money above all else and squash those that think otherwise by using fear of the unknown. I've just subscribed and will try to nurture hope by watching your films. Thank-you. 🙂

    That’s what happened to our Forrest in the Great Smokies in Tennessee. The geoengineering in the sky has changed the weather and micro biome. There’s a place called Mount Mitchell up on the BlueRidge Parkway that I was told as a little girl it was Acid Rain. It looks like and eerie ghost place. This is not “Acid Rain”. It was an experiment because it is in one spot where they experimented dumping their chemicals or this would have happened all over instead of one spot. People are indoctrinated into believing the g o v is on the up and up when they are not. There is massive geoengineering happening world wide as they poison us and the forests! It’s not Co2 emissions. The trees live on our Co2 and in return give us Oxygen. God made it this way.

    Im kind of near the clarkville area, and they've been clear cutting all over the place the last 10 years. Trees well over 100 years old, just gone. Its caused flooding and soil compaction, so nothing is growing back in these areas. It gets even worse driving out in the dover area. They've clear cut so much. Im more than a little disappointed in our state.
