On Saturday June 7 at 8 a.m. the AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center will host a showing of The Peoples Forest: The Story of the White Mountain National Forest with writer, and director David Huntley.

The People's Forest is about one of the greatest environmental comeback stories in American history. The 48 minute documentary examines a dramatic period in the life of New Hampshire's great woods from 1860 to 1910 and shows how the human forces that conspired to nearly destroy the land came together again to save it. The destruction of New Hampshire's forests sparked one of the nation's first grassroots conservation movements and a decades-long national battle over the fate of eastern forestlands.
