The Forester, James Kraus
Kirk’s wife dies, asking with her last breath that he take photographs in Yosemite National Park to fulfill her lifelong dream. Confused and uncertain with Sara’s request, Kirk begins a reluctant journey, influenced by his love for Sara, his powerful encounters with nature, and the people he meets – learning from some, facing dangerous situations with others. An old growth forest is threatened by a timber company, a famous river is threatened by the construction of a reservoir, and a grizzly bear is threatened by poachers. An ancient Native American Heritage is brought into focus with a new perspective on discovery. A marriage is caught in the middle of an environmental conflict. A new Forestry challenges traditional methods. And a man must confront old values and beliefs.
James Kraus knows the woods from every perspective – as a source of Wonder, a source of Timber, and a source of Conflict.
