Certainly well rounded salute to trees, but it's main focus is the lumber industry. It shows ancient ways paper was made, to the modern way it's done now. It also gives us several examples of how paper is used! Gee. I NEVER KNEW! Ends with a brief warning about arson, and I like how the film is careful to mention the lumber industry is the lwast common enemy in forest fires! They probably wanted you to know that.
