"For eight hundred years I have lived here,
through the wind, the fire and the snow."

This powerful song of an ancient Douglas fir celebrates the age-old cycle of life in the Pacific Rain Forest, revealing the interconnectedness of all things.

From the gentle whisper of owls' wings to the haunting echo of a lone wolf's cry, each scene resonates with the beauty and sacredness of nature.  But when bulldozers invade the forest, the tree senses its impending destruction and asks,

"Who will house the owl?
And who will hold that river's shore?
And who will take refuge in my shadow, if my shadow falls no more?"
