00:03 In the eyes of native people,

00:05 it was the sand to do nothing with the landscape.

00:07 You engage, you exchange that energy.

00:10 If you are gonna sit back and think

00:14 that these forested areas are just gonna all of a sudden

00:18 do something magical without you being engaged in them,

00:22 you're wrong.

00:23 (gentle music)

00:27 (water rushing)

00:30 I think some people assume that our public lands

00:40 are just protected and that no one can go in and change them

00:43 and that's not true.

00:44 Like right now, there's so many threats to public land,

00:48 including large-scale logging or natural gas pipelines

00:52 that are being cut through these untouched wilderness areas

00:55 or natural areas.

00:57 (gentle music)

00:59 100 years ago, there wasn't any effort given

01:00 to what's gonna be the future forest here.

01:02 Now we're taking a look, okay, now we've inherited this,

01:05 how are we gonna take this

01:06 and how are we gonna make this better for our kids?

01:08 How do we manage recreation in a sustainable way?

01:13 How do we address issues like climate change

01:16 and all the stressors that provides on invasive species

01:19 and how do we work together around that development pressure

01:23 and what that puts on the national forest?

01:26 Those are societal challenges.

01:28 - This planet was fine without us

01:32 for a long, long, long, long time.

01:35 This continent was fine without us for millions of years.

01:38 So to think we need to manage every single acre

01:41 is just stupidity.

01:42 - The Nantahala Pisgah is the biggest unit of public land

01:49 in the Southern Blue Ridge,

01:50 which is perhaps the world's best preserved

01:54 temperate hardwood forest.

01:56 And so if you lose the best of the best,

01:59 then what do you have left?

02:03 (water flowing)
