Ray Mears and the Path of Grey Owl

“The question is not what we get out of nature, but what can we give back to nature.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEP83CAyxgc The Path of Grey Owl is a new film by Goh Iromoto, shot on location in Ontario, Canada. It follows Ray Mears through the wilderness of the Temagami region, as he explores the path of acclaimed author and conservationist Grey Owl (also known as Archibald Belaney). While reflecting on the landscape that shaped Grey Owl into the person that he was, Ray further delves into Grey Owl’s message about protecting our wilderness, and explains why this is still so relevant and important in our present day.

Profound message, stunningly made film.
It is my responsibility, all of our responsibilities to respect and admire nature, after all it is what sustains us no matter how clever we think we are! We have lost the core connection with the world around us and need to reconnect with that source not treat every forest, woodland and mineral deposit as a commodity to be plundered.
Less is more.

Fantastic short film, watched with my 8 year old before he went to bed – we both enjoyed it.
