Logging Algonquin: Film Screening and Old Growth Talk
Join the Wilderness Committee April 30 in Toronto for the premiere screening of “Logging Algonquin” a new documentary by Conor Devries that asks the question: does logging belong in a modern day park?
The 30-minute film will be followed by Finding Algonquin Old Growth, a presentation by forest researcher Mike Henry.
This event will also launch a new phase of the Wilderness Committee's ongoing campaign to end logging in provincial parks.
About Logging Algonquin
This short documentary provides expert opinions on the issues around logging in Algonquin Park and brings the viewer down onto the forest floor as they follow a group of passionate environmentalists on the ground in logged areas of the park and a researcher attempting to document the remaining old-growth forest in Algonquin.
About Finding Algonquin Old Growth
See what a 400-year-old tree in Algonquin Park looks like, learn where they are and why they matter. This is the first time Mike will present research from Algonquin Park's unprotected old growth forest, where he and a group of volunteers found trees up to 427 years old, and many other features of very old forest. Mike Henry is co-author of the guidebook: Ontario's Old Growth Forests
