It has a simple plot, as a couple travels to the Pacific Northwest on their honeymoon and gets into an argument about forest conservation. The bride's uncle, an entomologist, educates them about forest management and shows how timber harvesting is the best way to protect forests from fires, pests, and other dangers. Reforestation and logging operations are also discussed. The film suggests that Weyerhaeuser can strike a balance between utilizing forest resources and conserving them for future generations. The film was directed by Leslie Goodwins and shot by Arthur Martinelli, with story by James Prindle. It was made by Wilding Picture Productions. :30 - Newlyweds leaving church on wedding day, images of the Pacific Northwest, fishing, trees, waterfalls, wildlife. 2:06 - The bride's uncle was sent by the government for a bug survey. 2:11 - Uncle is a retired entomologist. 2:29 - Light-hearted comment about chasing food. 2:33 - Discussion about their recent marriage. 2:42 - Question about the uncle's 16mm movie projector. 2:52 - Suggestion to watch one of the uncle's films. 3:19 - Sugar Pine trees. 3:28 - Ponderosa Pines. 3:34 - Comment on the shame of cutting down trees. 3:41 - Inquiry about a specific tree top. 3:46 - Tree health indicators. 3:55 - Discussion on the appearance of cut trees. 4:01 - Explanation about reserved seed trees. 4:08 - Skepticism about loggers' intentions. 4:11 - Reminder of the speaker's long experience in the area. 4:18 - Argument about knowledge of the woods. 4:34 - Discussion about forest fires and their causes. 4:45 - Argument about leaving the woods alone. 4:52 - Forest products' importance. 5:05 - Argument about timber and game. 5:22 - Reminder of their honeymoon. 5:31 - Apology and promise not to quarrel. 5:42 - Light-hearted comment about the argument. 6:17 Bear cub comes into the house and damages the 16mm film. 6:51 - Offer to make breakfast. 7:26 - Introduction to Uncle Ray. 7:36 - Apology for ruining the film. 7:41 - Uncle Ray dismisses the importance of the ruined film. 7:49 - Uncle Ray offers to make breakfast. 8:02 - Discussion about ideas on trees. 8:14 - Argument about cutting down trees. 8:30 - Uncle Ray offers to show a 16mm film to explain. 9:18 - Explanation of tree farming. 9:42 - Usefulness of forests. 10:05 - Timber is a Crop animated title. 10:49 - No smoking sign in the forest.
