In this short documentary, journey with adventurers, scientists, historians and environmental activists seeking to protect Wolf Lake, the largest known red pine old growth forest in North America.
At one time, red pine old-growth forests spanned across eastern North America. Today, only 1.2 per cent of that old-growth forest remain. Located in the northeast corner of Greater Sudbury, Wolf Lake old growth red pine forest stands as a rich but fragile ecological gem.
In 1999, the government of Ontario committed to protect Wolf Lake. However, mining claims and leases prevented its inclusion into the Chiniguchi Waterway Provincial Park and mining exploration activity continues in this fragile ecosystem.

“We are very excited about this event. It has been nine years in the making!” says PJ Justason, President of Friends of Temagami, in the press release.
“Save Wolf Lake” was directed by Franziska Brand and Sarah Paul of Red Tent Media.
