Episode 2: Colorado

From nearly 12,000 feet above sea level, we follow the path of clean drinking water through forests and streams to faucets down to Denver to discover the innovative ways that Coloradans are embracing beetle-kill wood. And we discover the gift of peace that comes to military veterans from fly-fishing in mountain streams.

America’s Forests captures the breadth of our nation’s woodlands – both public and private. We feature different stories that demonstrate how #forest habitats are to the well-being and economic health of communities across the country. In this series, we present individuals who embody this passion for the woods, from architects to artists, from climbers to carpenters, and from #foresters to #treefarmers.

We celebrate US forests and to advocate for their constructive management, we propose a communications campaign centered on a broadcast television documentary series for PBS and multi-faceted social media outreach.
