Documentary. The "glory days" of logging in B.C. are evoked through dramatized sequences, archival footage and photographs, oral history interviews with old-time loggers, and historical re-creations filmed at the Cowichan Valley Forest Museum. The latter scenes feature vintage equipment, including a steam locomotive and steam donkey. The nature of the pioneer logger's life, and the impact of technological change upon that way of life, are also discussed. In one sequence, an old-time high-rigger climbs and tops a spar tree.

Industrial film. A prologue on the historical background and importance of logging in B.C. leads into discussion of forest management principles and forestry techniques. Scenes include the B.C. Forest Service nursery at Duncan; tree planting and thinning; and logging.
