RAINBOW VALLEY 



Color Sound Contemporary Films, Inc. 



24 minutes Rental Sale 



This film takes one specific conservation problem and documents 

 it thoroughly. The problem concerns the preservation of the rain- 

 bow trout and the protection of their native habitat. The motivation 

 for such action is linked to the expanding productivity of a state 

 (Montana) in which the trout has economic significance. Conflict 

 is developed by outside interests who threaten this third largest 

 source of state revenue by timber cutting, water diversion and 

 power development. 



Portions of the story are devoted to the life cycle of the trout. 

 Microphotography illustrates the development from the "milking" 

 of the male and female trout by hatchery employees until such time 

 as the young trout are dropped by air into streams. An important 

 sequence shows the duties and significance of the game warden and 

 his apprehension of fishermen whose enthusiasm is exceeded only 

 by their greed. 



Well photographed, clearly and appealingly presented, this film 

 makes a good case for true conservation. 



AUDIENCE: High school; adult

The lumber industry's responsibility in providing timber for 

 tomorrow, while harvesting trees today, is detailed in this Weyer- 

 hauser lumber company film. Graphic photography shows trees 

 being cut and hauled away, and then leads into the problems of 

 supplying forest resources for the future. Aerial seeding, careful 

 cutting practices and constant vigilance are noted as some of the 

 vital components of this modern planned industrial forestry. The 

 foresters must be ready to combat many natural hazards, and the 

 film includes sequences on animal competitors, winter snows and 

 gales, and the greatest enemy of all, the forest fire. 



The film provides in addition a valuable introduction to new 

 equipment and methods pertaining to modern forestry. A compre- 

 hensive and absorbing introduction to today's forests.
