A Forest Returns

I enjoyed the documentary, A Forest Returns. It was simple in that it didn't have many special effects. It was just an honest and sweet old man telling the story of how the Wayne National Forest was made. The music and pictures went along with the man's information very well. He discussed how the South East of Ohio has been stripped of trees. But, once the Great Depression hit and the area was in need of jobs, the government bought up land around here and paid people, including young men from Northern Ohio, to plant trees. People were allowed to still live in this land, but could not bother the vegetation. As a result of these seeds being planted and people not doing anything, trees sprung up into what is the Wayne National Forest that we see today. If anything, the documentary helped me to appreciate the beauty of nature more in that although I have lived in this area for my whole life, I have not really visited the Wayne National Forest. I find it hopefully that mother nature can bring back the trees and vegetation even after humans have messed things up. I hope this world is still beautiful even after the humans have left it.
