Call of the Forest – Theatrical Trailer from Treespeak Films on Vimeo.
The film follows Beresford-Kroeger’s journey across the globe as she meets the people working to protect the last of these native forests. Along the way, she shares her wisdom on the folklore and healing power of trees, offering simple ways that each of us can help reforest our neighbourhoods and backyard. As Beresford-Kroeger says, “It will start with an acorn and shovel, and we might just change the world.”
