- Summary
- COI synopsis: In the past, too many trees have been cut from Britain’s forests. To remedy the situation, the Forestry Commission was set up after the first world war, and by 1960 was managing a million and a quarter acres of new forest in England, Wales and Scotland. The film describes its techniques of management and afforestation, and gives some idea of past and present uses of timber.
