Description: The philosophy of Sigurd Olson underscored with photography primarily on the Wolf River of Wisconsin. The purpose of the film is to instill in all viewers — young and old — a feeling for nature, exemplified by the river, the water, quiet and rushing, the abundant plant life, and the fact that civilization is fast contaminating and ruining the ecological balance.
