For many Canadians, their introduction to clearcut logging came from news reports about the Clayoquot Sound protests back in 1993. Known as the "War in the Woods," some 12,000 people showed up on the remote west coast of Vancouver Island to join the blockades against logging companies.  While much of the area was spared, clearcutting, instead of more sustainable logging methods, remained the status quo elsewhere in B.C. and old growth forests have continued to fall. Today, precious little old growth remains, and First Nations and environmentalists are again taking a stand. War for the Woods follows a new generation's campaign against logging that once again has captured the attention of Canadians. Original air date: March 17, 2023.
