A Forest Returns

A Forest Returns was a nice change of pace in that it was a happier story about an environmental issue. I was surprised at how much of an impact this guy made on the tree growth in Ohio. I never realized that most of the state we live in was logged, and that the forests we have now are the second wave of tree life. It was interesting to see that our government had programs that gave people work to do by having them plant all these trees. In today's society, I don't think that our government would ever do that because we are so money-driven that it would cost more to have people individually plant forests than it would to hire one person and a machine to do just as much. However, in 1935, it was a good thing that they helped restore the habitats of many animals that were destroyed in the logging process.
