A film about the distinctive ecological values of the Ocala National Forest told by recapturing the passion and wisdom of naturalist and author Archie Fairly Carr, who often brought his college students to the Forest on field trips. From the cabin, we range out into the vast Forest. As we do, we understand how Archie's own knowledge of nature evolved from an appreciation for a single species to a larger kinship with the complex ecological systems that allow it to exist.
