"A Forest Returns"

“A Forest Returns” was a very informative movie and touching. The movie went into great detail on the rebuilding of the Wayne National Forest. Mr. Anderson was the man narrating the movie, and has made the Wayne National Forest apart of his life. He is older now, but he remembered ever piece of historical content involved with the forest. I was not aware that the forest was once very bare. It was interesting when Anderson said that refraining from farming will restore the land.

I am embarrassed to say, from my love of history, I knew that the New Deal , from FDR, did have many relief programs. I knew that it brought many forests around the nation, but I didn’t know that it gave restoration to the Wayne National Forest. Being in my history classes, I just hear about all of the things the New Deal did and the people it helped. I would have never thought that I am surrounded by a product of the New Deal. I also think it was very touching to see the love of the forests the Anderson has. You can see in the way he talks that he is truly a part of the Wayne Forest. It is nice to see someone that has a love for the environment.
