Transcript: Into the Woods
An animated question mark mono cycles outside Zoey’s house holding a flag with the logo of the show: a magnifying glass with a question mark inside.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
As she plays the ukulele, animated musical notes jumps up and down the screen.
(HOWLING)
(HOWLING)
In the woods, Zoey pops out from behind a tree.
Zoey says HOPE I DIDN'T SCARE YOU.
THIS IS A MOOSE CALLER,
AND THAT...
(HOWLING)... WAS A MOOSE CALL.
I'M USING IT BECAUSE TODAY
I'M GOING INTO THE WOODS
TO EXPLORE A PLACE THAT I'VE HAD
A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT,
INCLUDING THIS ONE.
A girl named "Julia" pops up inside a frame on the screen.
She says DO WE NEED FORESTS?
Zoey says WELL, JULIA,
I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW.
I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE
A NICE PLACE.
BUT DO WE REALLY NEED FORESTS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
An animated plant says I DON'T KNOW.
Zoey says BY THE END OF THE SHOW,
I'LL HAVE THE ANSWER.
MEANWHILE, HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM ALESSANDRO.
A boy with straight brown hair pops up and says IS IT BAD TO CUT DOWN TREES
IN THE FOREST?
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
Dressed as a lumberjack, Zoey says IS IT BAD TO CUT DOWN TREES
IN THE FOREST?
OF COURSE NOT.
LOOK HOW MANY THERE ARE.
IF I CUT DOWN TREES FOREVER,
THERE'D STILL BE A LOT MORE.
She turns on a chainsaw and starts cutting the trees around her.
She says WOAH.
HEY! WHERE DID ALL THE TREES GO?
Zoey says PEOPLE USE TO THINK
THAT FORESTS WERE ENDLESS,
AND THAT THEY COULD CUT DOWN
AS MANY TREES AS THEY WANTED.
AND THERE WERE A LOT
OF FORESTS.
I CHECKED,
AND SCIENTISTS THINK
THAT AT ONE TIME FORESTS COVERED
THIS MUCH OF THE WORLD.
An animation shows two thirds of the Earth covered in trees.
Zoey says BUT, BECAUSE OF PEOPLE
CUTTING DOWN TREES,
THE FOREST NOW ONLY COVERS
THIS MUCH OF THE WORLD.
The animation shows the Earth with only one third covered in trees.
Zoey says I FOUND OUT THAT,
WITHOUT FORESTS,
WILD ANIMALS HAVE
NO PLACE TO LIVE.
NOWADAYS, THEY EVEN GO
INTO NEIGHBORHOODS,
WHERE PEOPLE LIVE.
Pictures show wild animals living on the streets.
Zoey says ANIMALS DEFINITELY NEED FORESTS
FOR THEIR HOME.
AND AMANDA HAD A QUESTION
ABOUT THAT.
A girl with brown hair says HOW MANY KINDS OF LIVING THINGS
ARE IN THE FOREST?
Zoey says LIVING THINGS,
LIKE BIRDS, MAMMALS,
AMPHIBIANS,
REPTILES, INSECTS,
MICROBES,
BIG LIVING THINGS,
TINY LIVING THINGS,
THINGS THAT EAT PLANTS,
THINGS THAT EAT THE THINGS
THAT EAT PLANTS,
AND THERE ARE PLANTS TOO.
HEAD GETTING WARM.
BRAIN TRYING TO IMAGINE
ALL THOSE CREATURES.
THERE MUST BE A HUNDRED.
NO, A THOUSAND.
NO, TENS OF THOUSANDS.
CREATURES OVERLOAD!
AGH!
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says THEY'RE STILL DISCOVERING
NEW SPECIES ALL THE TIME.
AND NO ONE KNOWS
HOW MANY KINDS OF LIVING THINGS
ARE IN THE FOREST.
BUT THEY ALL NEED TO EAT.
AND WE'RE GOING TO MEET
SOME OF THEM RIGHT NOW.
She grabs her ukulele and sings SHE KNOWS ABOUT ANIMALS
THAT LIVE IN THE FOREST
SHE'S BRINGING SOME IN NOW
AND I KNOW THAT
THEY WON'T BORE US
HERE'S JENNIFER CYR-DEVINE.
Jen enters the attic. She’s in her thirties, with long straight brown hair and wears white trousers and a blue T-shirt. She carries a bird on her hand.
Jen says HI!
Zoey says HI!
THIS DOESN'T EAT PEOPLE,
DOES IT?
Jen says NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
DON'T WORRY. HA!
THIS IS ACTUALLY
AN AMERICAN KESTREL.
Zoey says WOW.
Jen says AND HER NAME IS SAPHIRA.
Zoey says WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?
Jen says WELL, THIS IS A TYPE
OF BIRD THAT LIVES
IN OPEN FIELDS AND MEADOWS
OFTEN CLOSE TO FORESTS,
SO THE FORESTS ARE A LITTLE BIT
LIKE A REFRIGERATOR,
WHEREBY SOMETIMES THE MICE
AND THE INSECTS ALL COME OUT,
AND WHEN SHE CAN SPOT THEM...
OH! SHE'S IN SEVENTH HEAVEN.
THAT WAY SHE CAN FIND ALL SORTS
OF YUMMY FOOD TO EAT.
Zoey says SO, WHAT DO YOU GUYS
FEED HER?
Jen says WELL, AT THE ECOMUSEUM ZOO,
WE FEED HER MICE,
AND WE SOMETIMES FEED HER
LITTLE BIRDS, BECAUSE
THAT'S SOMETIMES WHAT THEY'LL
BE EATING IN THE WILD AS WELL.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO
AND GET SOME MORE?
Zoey says SURE!
Jen says EXCELLENT.
Jen comes back with a snake.
Zoey says WOW. WHAT KIND
OF SNAKE IS THAT?
Jen says THIS IS WHAT WE CALL
A BLACK RAT SNAKE.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE REFER TO THEM
AS GREY RAT SNAKES.
HE LOVES TO CLIMB UP INTO TREES.
I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
CONSIDERING HE DOESN'T HAVE
ANY ARMS OR LEGS,
BUT THESE GUYS CAN ACTUALLY
CLIMB VERY EASILY.
Zoey says DOES IT BITE?
Jen says THEY CAN BITE.
WOULD YOU STILL LIKE TO TOUCH?
Zoey says SURE.
(JENNIFER LAUGHS)
Zoey says WOAH. THAT'S LIKE SCALY.
THAT'S FUNNY.
Jen says THOSE ARE ALL SCALES.
THEY HAVE THEM
ALL OVER THEIR BODIES.
Now Jen holds a big frog.
Zoey says WOW!
Jen says THIS FROG IS HUGE!
IT'S ACTUALLY
WHAT WE CALL A BULL FROG,
BECAUSE THIS IS
A LARGE TYPE OF FROG,
JUST LIKE BULLS ARE
PRETTY LARGE.
Zoey says SO, WHY'S IT GOOD FOR THEM
TO LIVE IN THE FOREST?
Jen says IN THE FOREST WHERE THEY LIVE,
AS LONG AS IT'S NEAR WATER,
THEY'LL BE ABLE TO FIND ALL
SORTS OF INSECTS
AND ALL SORTS OF LITTLE
MICE TO EAT.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY LOVE.
THEY CAN EAT FISH THAT ARE
FOUND IN THE WATER
AS WELL AS A MAMMAL
THAT FLIES AT NIGHT - BATS!
Zoey says SERIOUSLY?
Jen says OH YEAH.
AND DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
HOW THEY EAT THE BAT?
Zoey says HOW?
Jen says WELL,
THEY HAVE TO LAUNCH TOWARDS IT
WITH THEIR BODIES,
THEIR MOUTHS OPEN, THEIR TONGUES
STICKING OUT LIKE THIS.
THEY CATCH THE BAT
IN THEIR MOUTHS,
WITH THEIR TEETH,
IT KEEPS THEM IN PLACE,
AND THEN THEY PUSH IT DOWN
WITH THEIR HANDS AND THE MUSCLES
IN THEIR THROAT.
THEY HAVE TO BRING THEIR EYES
INSIDE THEIR HEADS
AND PUSH THE FOOD
RIGHT DOWN THEIR THROAT.
Zoey says THAT'S SO COOL.
Jen says THIS IS WHAT
WE CALL AN OPOSSUM.
AND THIS IS FROM
THE MARSUPIAL GROUP,
SO IT'S THE SAME GROUP
AS KOALAS AND KANGAROOS.
Zoey says WHAT DOES SHE EAT?
Jen says SHE CAN EAT A LITTLE BIT
OF EVERYTHING, ACTUALLY.
SHE'S RATHER OMNIVOROUS,
SO SHE CAN EAT FRUIT,
SHE CAN EAT SEEDS AND NUTS,
SHE CAN EVEN EAT OTHER TYPES
OF ANIMALS, LIKE INSECTS, MICE.
SO YOU CAN SEE, LIKE
THE FOREST FLOOR, SHE'S TRYING
TO PUSH ALL THE LEAVES AROUND,
ALL THE PIECES OF WOOD,
AND SHE'S TRYING TO FIND
ALL SORTS OF FRUITS
THAT MIGHT HAVE
FALLEN FROM TREES,
AND INSECTS THAT ARE HIDDEN
UNDER ALL THESE BRANCHES,
JUST LIKE SHE'D BE DOING
IN THE FOREST.
Zoey says THANKS FOR BEING ON MY SHOW
AND HELPING ME FIND STUFF OUT.
Jen says THANKS FOR HAVING US.
Zoey says HERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION,
FROM JOSEPH.
A boy with wavy brown hair says ARE ALL FORESTS THE SAME?
Zoey says TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
I'VE COME TO MEET AN EXPERT
ON VANCOUVER ISLAND
THAT HAS SOME OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL FORESTS ON EARTH.
Zoey plays her ukulele and sings SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE TREES IN
ALL THE FORESTS THAT SHE SEES
HERE'S JULIE FORTIN!
YEAH.
Julie slides down on a zip line.
Julie is in her twenties, with long straight brown hair and wears gray trousers, a blue shirt and a navy blue sweater.
Julie says SO I BROUGHT YOU
THIS LITTLE FIR SEEDLING.
AND ONE DAY,
THIS LITTLE SEEDLING
IS GOING TO BE A HUGE PART
OF THIS BIG FOREST.
Zoey says HOW TALL COULD IT GROW?
Julie says DOUGLAS FIRS CAN GROW UP
TO 60 METERS TALL
AND HAVE REALLY WIDE TRUNKS.
Zoey says WOW.
Julie says SO THE KIND OF FOREST
IT WOULD LIVE IN
IS LIKE THE KIND OF FOREST
AROUND HERE.
IT'S A TEMPERATE RAINFOREST.
THE KINDS OF TREES
WE WOULD FIND HERE
ARE ESPECIALLY THE DOUGLAS FIR
BUT ALSO THINGS
LIKE THIS ARBUTUS
RIGHT BEHIND US.
THE ARBUTUS IS A
VERY INTERESTING TREE
BECAUSE IT SHEDS ITS BARK
IN THE SUMMER
INSTEAD OF SHEDDING ITS LEAVES
IN THE FALL.
Zoey says WHAT OTHER KIND
OF FORESTS ARE THERE?
Julie says THERE ARE
TROPICAL RAINFORESTS.
Zoey says LIKE THE JUNGLE IN THE AMAZON?
Julie says YEAH.
THERE ARE TEMPERATE RAINFORESTS,
WHICH IS LIKE THE ONE
THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
THERE ARE BOREAL FORESTS
FURTHER NORTH.
AND THERE IS THIS REALLY COOL
THING CALLED CLOUD FORESTS,
WHICH ARE FORESTS
THAT KIND OF SWEAT
AND THEN THEY CREATE
THEIR OWN CLOUDS.
Zoey says THAT'S REALLY COOL.
Julie says YEAH.
Zoey says WHY AREN'T ALL FORESTS THE SAME?
LIKE, WHY ISN'T A FOREST
LIKE THE JUNGLE?
Julie says NOT ALL FORESTS
ARE THE SAME,
BECAUSE TREES NEED
THREE THINGS TO GROW.
THEY NEED LIGHT,
OR ENERGY.
THEY NEED WATER.
AND THEY NEED NUTRIENTS.
LIGHT, WATER, AND NUTRIENTS
AREN'T SPREAD OUT THE SAME
AROUND THE GLOBE.
FOR EXAMPLE,
IN THE DESERT,
THERE ISN'T ENOUGH WATER
TO GROW FORESTS.
Zoey says WHAT ABOUT IN THE ARCTIC?
HERE'S A QUESTION FROM NEIL,
WHO LIVES THERE, WAY UP NORTH.
An animated map shows the location of "Igloolik."
A boy in a knitted hat says I LIVE IN IGLOOLIK.
WHY AREN'T THERE FORESTS HERE?
Julie says YOU WON'T FIND FORESTS UP NORTH
IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
BECAUSE IT'S JUST TOO COLD
FOR TREES TO GROW.
Dresses as a scientist, Zoey says SPEAKING OF TREES AND FORESTS,
WHO'S IN THE MOOD
FOR A LITTLE EXPERIMENT?
An animated Zoey appears with a purple balloon with the caption "The Experiment" on it.
Scientist Zoey says DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN TELL
HOW OLD A TREE IS
BY COUNTING ITS RINGS?
NOT THESE KIND.
(PHONE RINGS)
NOT THOSE KIND OF RINGS EITHER.
THESE KIND.
A clip shows images of tree rings.
Scientist Zoey says I ASKED MY FRIENDS KASHVI
AND NOAH TO COUNT SOME RINGS.
Kashvi is around 10, with shoulder length straight brown hair. She wears blue trousers, a white long sleeved T-shirt and a headband.
Noah is around 11, with short brown hair and wears gray sweatpants with neon yellow stripes on the sides and a forest green T-shirt.
They both count the rings on slices of tree trunks.
Zoey says IN THE SPRING,
TREES GROW VERY QUICKLY,
SLOW DOWN IN THE FALL,
AND THEN STOP IN THE WINTER.
THIS CREATES A TREE RING
EVERY YEAR.
Kashvi says I THINK MINE'S
ABOUT 23 YEARS OLD.
Noah says I THINK MINE'S
ABOUT 37.
Kashvi says WOW!
BUT THAT'S SO SMALL.
Noah says YEAH.
AND THAT ONE'S BIG.
I WONDER WHY THIS ONE'S
OLDER BUT SMALLER.
Zoey says WELL, I FOUND OUT IT'S BECAUSE
TREES ARE JUST LIKE PEOPLE.
THEY GROW IN
ALL DIFFERENT SIZES.
IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHERE
THE TREES ARE GROWING.
RINGS TELL YOU A LOT
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.
LIKE, IF THE TREE HAD
ENOUGH WATER,
OR HOW HOT OR COLD
IT WAS THAT YEAR.
A WIDE RING MEANS A TREE HAD
WHAT IT NEEDED TO GROW,
BUT A SKINNY RING MEANS
IT MAY HAVE HAD A TOUGH YEAR.
SO, BECAUSE RINGS ARE
NOT ALL THE SAME,
THEY'RE TRICKY TO COUNT.
Kashvi says I THINK THIS TREE
WAS BORN IN 1932.
Zoey says THAT'S, LIKE, WHEN
MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN!
Noah says WELL, MINE WAS
BORN IN 1894.
Zoey says THAT'S WHEN MY GREAT-GREAT-
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER
WAS BORN!
THAT SEEMS PRETTY OLD.
BUT I FOUND OUT THAT SOME TREES
HAVE THOUSANDS OF RINGS.
THE OLDEST IS NOT
THAT BIG,
BUT IT'S STILL
5,000 YEARS OLD!
THAT'S 5,000 RINGS.
IMAGINE COUNTING THAT!
Noah says MY TREE IS
120 YEARS OLD.
Kashvi says MINE'S 84 YEARS OLD.
Noah says BYE, ZOEY.
Kashvi says BYE.
Zoey says THANKS,
KASHVI AND NOAH.
Zoey slides down a zip line and says NOW HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM ANDREW.
Andrew says WHAT DO WE GET
FROM THE FOREST?
Zoey says OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD,
I KNOW THAT WE GET WOOD
FOR HOUSES, LIKE THIS.
A toy log house appears.
Zoey says AND WE GET PAPER FROM TREES
IN THE FOREST.
TRY LIVING WITHOUT
TOILET PAPER.
THANK YOU FOR THAT ONE,
FORESTS.
I CHECKED, AND THERE ARE
LOTS OF OTHER THINGS
THAT WE GET FROM FORESTS.
AND THAT'S THE SUBJECT
FOR TODAY'S...
(FANFARE)
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says MY GREAT CHALLENGE!
Zoey is in the attic with 4 participants.
Zoey says TODAY'S CHALLENGERS ARE
AIDYN AND TRISTAN.
They say YEAH!
Aydin is around 11, with long slightly wavy light brown hair. She wears denim Bermuda shorts and a purple T-shirt.
Tristan is around 12, with very short brown hair and he wears gray Bermuda shorts and a green T-shirt.
Zoey says AND JUSTIN AND STERLING.
They say YEAH!
Justin is around 11, with short blond hair and wears blue shorts and a blue T-shirt with a print.
Sterling is around 11, with short wavy brown hair and he wears jeans and a green T-shirt.
Zoey says SO, AIDYN AND TRISTAN,
YOU'RE TEAM OAK.
JUSTIN AND STERLING,
YOU'RE TEAM PINE.
YOU SEE THOSE ITEMS
ON THE TABLE, RIGHT?
Justin and Sterling say YEAH.
Several random items appear on screen, such as a wooden mask, paper towel, beans, an electric guitar, maple syrup, rubber boots, etc.
Zoey says YOUR CHALLENGE
IS TO PICK UP
WHAT YOU THINK IS MADE
FROM THINGS FROM FORESTS.
THE TEAM THAT GUESSES
THE MOST CORRECTLY,
AND THE LEAST INCORRECTLY, WINS.
LET'S PULL STRAWS...
I MEAN BRANCHES
TO DECIDE WHO GOES FIRST.
Justin gets the longest straw.
Zoey says AND TEAM PINE WINS,
SO YOU GUYS GO FIRST.
BUT WAIT UNTIL I BLOW
MY SUPER MOOSE SIGNAL.
3, 2, 1...
(MOOING)
An animated moose says TIME TO MOO-VE.
Sterling says I THINK WE SHOULD PICK
THE HOCKEY STICK.
Justin says YEAH. IT'S MADE OUT OF WOOD.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
Aydin says WHAT ABOUT THE...
Tristan says PAPER'S MADE OUT
OF TREES, RIGHT?
Aydin says I DON'T... UH, YEAH.
Tristan says SO WE SHOULD MAYBE TAKE THAT.
Aydin says YEAH.
Justin says WE SHOULD TAKE MAPLE SYRUP.
Sterling says YEAH.
Justin says IT'S MADE IN SPRINGTIME
FROM TREES.
Aydin says SHOULD WE TAKE
THE BIRD HOUSE?
IT'S MADE FROM WOOD.
Tristan says SURE.
Justin says WHAT ABOUT THIS
MASK-LOOKING THING?
Sterling says YEAH. IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S MADE OF WOOD.
Aydin says WHAT ABOUT THIS BOOK?
IT'S MADE FROM PAPER,
SO IT'S PROBABLY FROM TREES.
Tristan says YEAH.
Justin says WHAT ABOUT
THIS TOILET PAPER?
IT'S MADE FROM...
THE PAPER IS MADE FROM TREES.
Aydin says NOW CAN WE TRY
THE ELECTRIC GUITAR?
Tristan says YEAH, MAYBE.
Justin says HMMM...
Sterling says THE ROCKS ARE NATURAL.
Justin says UH, I THINK THAT'S COAL.
Sterling says IT'S STILL NATURAL.
LET'S TAKE IT.
Justin says OH, YEAH.
THAT'S TRUE.
Tristan says WE SHOULD TAKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Aydin says I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS. IS IT BUTTER?
WE SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE IT.
Sterling says OH, PAPER.
Justin says YEAH, PAPER.
Tristan says WE COULD TAKE
THAT T-SHIRT. IT'S...
Aydin says YEAH.
Justin says YEAH, THIS BOX.
Tristan says MAYBE THIS BOUNCY BALL.
Aysdin says MAYBE.
Justin says LET'S JUST TAKE
PING PONG BALLS.
(LAUGHING) THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
WE CAN REALLY PICK.
Zoey says BOTH TEAMS ARE DONE.
THEY DID NOT PICK
THE RUBBER BOOTS,
PLASTIC CONTAINER,
OR THE RUBBER TIRE.
ARE YOU SURE EVERYTHING ON YOUR
TABLE COMES FROM THE FOREST?
Aydin says NO.
Zoey says I FORGOT TO MENTION: YOU LOSE
A POINT FOR EVERY WRONG ANSWER.
I'LL GIVE YOU ONE CHANCE
TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK
THAT YOU DON'T THINK
COMES FROM THE FOREST.
Tristan says LET'S PUT BACK THE GUITAR.
Aydin says YEAH.
Tristan says MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT THAT BUTTER.
Aydin says BUTTER, YEAH.
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS BALL?
Tristan says YEAH, SURE.
Justin says THESE PING-PONG BALLS...
Sterling says THEY'RE PLASTIC.
Justin says YEAH.
AND THEY'RE PING-PONGISH.
Zoey says OKAY. TEAM OAK,
YOU HAVE SIX ITEMS
THAT YOU THOUGHT CAME
FROM THE FOREST.
TEAM PINE, YOU HAVE
NINE ITEMS
THAT YOU THOUGHT CAME
FROM THE FOREST.
SO, THE GOOD NEWS IS,
EVERYTHING YOU PUT ON YOUR TABLE
CAME FROM THE FOREST.
Justin and Sterling say YES!
Zoey says BUT THE BAD NEWS IS,
EVERYTHING THAT YOU PUT DOWN
OR DIDN'T PICK UP
ALSO CAME FROM THE FOREST.
They all say AWWW!
Zoey says IT WAS PROBABLY EASIER TO FIGURE
OUT STUFF LIKE PAPER,
MAPLE SYRUP,
OR THE HOCKEY STICK.
BUT I FOUND OUT THAT
PING-PONG BALLS AND FABRICS
CAN BE MADE FROM TINY FIBERS
FROM PLANTS AND TREES,
JUST LIKE PAPER.
MARGARINE CAN BE MADE
FROM PALM TREE OIL.
RUBBER BALLS AND TIRES ARE MADE
WITH THE HELP OF RUBBER TREES.
THAT PLASTIC CONTAINER
IS MADE FROM OIL.
AND JUST LIKE COAL,
IT'S A LEFTOVER OF FORESTS
THAT GREW HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF YEARS AGO.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
MOST SURPRISED ABOUT?
Sterling says THE PING-PONG BALLS.
Tristan says THE GUITAR.
Justin says YEAH, THE GUITAR.
Zoey says YUP, A LOT OF ELECTRIC GUITARS
ARE MADE OF WOOD AND VARNISH.
WELL, THANKS FOR BEING ON
MY SHOW AND DOING THE CHALLENGE.
They all say YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says NOW I'M GOING
BACK TO THE FOREST
TO SEE WHAT ELSE
COMES FROM THERE.
I HAVE A FEW GUESTS WHO KNOW
THE FOREST REALLY WELL.
In the forest, Zoey meets a woman with 3 children.
Zoey says THIS IS NITANIS
AND HER FAMILY.
Nitanis is in her thirties, with long curly brown hair and she wears printed leggings and a white T-shirt.
Zoey says THIS IS CHYYAH.
Chyya is around 10, with long straight brown hair and wears a straw hat and a dress with stripes and an animal face printed on the front.
Zoey says THIS IS TSEEQWATIN.
Tseeqwatin is around 11, with straight brown hair and wears blue trousers and a blue and white striped sweatshirt.
Zoey says AND THIS IS HA'LIDZOX.
Ha’lidzox is around 7, with long brown hair and wears a summer dress.
Zoey says AND THAT'S NITANIS.
THEY'RE MEMBERS OF THE
NUU-CHAH-NULTH FIRST NATIONS.
AND THEY LIVE HERE, IN A FOREST
ON VANCOUVER ISLAND.
NITANIS, WHY IS NATURE
SO IMPORTANT TO YOUR CULTURE?
Nitanis says FOREST WAS EVERYTHING TO US.
INSTEAD OF GOING
TO A GROCERY STORE,
WE WOULD GET ALL OUR FOOD
FROM HERE.
EVERYTHING THAT WE USED
TO STAY ALIVE
OUR SHELTER, OUR FOOD,
OR EVEN OUR CLOTHING.
AND SOMETIMES
WE DON'T EVEN NOTICE
THE SMALLEST LITTLE THINGS
WAS USED FOR EVERYTHING.
SAY, WHAT YOU'RE
SITTING ON, ZOEY.
THIS IS CALLED SPHAGNUM MOSS.
AND SPHAGNUM MOSS WAS PICKED,
AND THEN ALL THE STICKS
WERE TAKEN OUT OF IT
TO MAKE IT REALLY SOFT,
AND THEY WERE USED AS DIAPERS.
Zoey says WOW.
Nitanis says IT WAS THE VERY FIRST
DISPOSABLE DIAPER.
AND IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
CHYYAH BROUGHT YOU A BASKET.
Zoey says WOW. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. THANK
YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S MADE OUT
OF THE FOREST.
I'M SO EXCITED.
Chyya says THIS IS A SALMONBERRY.
A SALMONBERRY.
Zoey says WOW! THAT TASTES DELICIOUS.
Natanis says THIS IS AN
INDIGENOUS BLACKBERRY.
IT'S LIKE A LITTLE VINE
THAT GROWS.
AND THE YOUNG GIRLS USED
TO LIKE TAKING IT HERE,
AND YOU WOULD MAKE
A LITTLE HAIR ORNAMENT.
AND THE GIRLS WOULD WEAR IT
TO DECORATE THEIR HAIR.
YOU'D SPEND ALL DAY OUT HERE,
AND YOU'D BE SINGING SONGS.
AND YOU'D BE SINGING
TO THE TREES.
AND YOU'D ALSO BE LETTING
THE BEARS KNOW THAT "I'M HERE."
Zoey says WE'RE OUT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS,
LOOKING FOR PLANTS
AND BERRIES.
SO WE HAVE TO SING A SONG TO LET
THE BEARS KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE.
The kids sing a song that says WAH-HEY-OH
WAH-HEY
WAH-HEY-EY-OH...
Zoey says BEARS HATE SURPRISES.
IF YOU SURPRISE A BEAR, HE MIGHT
THINK YOU'RE THREATENING HIM.
AND HE COULD ATTACK
TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
SINGING LETS HIM KNOW
THAT YOU'RE COMING
AND DON'T MEAN ANY HARM.
BEARS LIKE TO BE ALONE.
AND USUALLY THEY'D MUCH RATHER
BE OUT OF YOUR WAY.
They sing WAH-HEY-EY-OH
WAH-HEY-OH
Natanis says ALL AROUND US, RIGHT IN
THIS ONE LITTLE AREA,
WE HAVE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS
OF MEDICINE AND FOOD.
SO EVERYWHERE YOU WALKED, THERE
WAS SOMETHING THAT WE USED.
CEDAR WAS THE MOST-USED TOOL
OF THE COASTAL PEOPLE.
HUGE CANOES WOULD BE
MADE OUT OF THIS.
AND THEY WOULD BE POUNDED
INTO VERY FINE FIBER.
AND THEY WOULD BE MADE
INTO CLOTHES.
Zoey says I NEVER THOUGHT THAT
YOU COULD USE SO MUCH THINGS
IN THE FOREST.
THANKS FOR BEING ON MY SHOW.
The kids say YOU'RE WELCOME, ZOEY.
Back in the attic, Zoey says I THINK WE'RE GETTING CLOSER
TO ANSWERING IF WE NEED FORESTS.
ANIMALS, FOR SURE,
NEED FORESTS.
AND WE NEED A LOT OF STUFF
WE GET FROM FORESTS.
BUT ARE THEY GOOD
FOR ANYTHING ELSE?
I THINK I HAVE TIME FOR
A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.
A boy named Jemin pops up and says HOW DO FOREST FIRES START?
(SHIVERING IN FEAR)
In a tree costume, Zoey says I CHECKED, AND I FOUND SOMETHING
OUT SUPER-SURPRISING.
FIRES ARE A NATURAL PART
OF THE FOREST LIFE CYCLE.
(THUNDER CRACKS)
(TREE GASPS)
Lighting crashes next to Zoey and lights up the moss on the forest floor.
Zoey says LIGHTNING CAUSES
LOTS OF FOREST FIRES,
BUT EXPERTS SAY THAT CAN
ACTUALLY HELP TREES.
FOREST FIRES ARE AS IMPORTANT
TO THE FOREST
AS THE SUN AND THE RAIN.
SOME TREES, LIKE THESE
GIANT SEQUOIAS,
DEPEND ON FIRES
TO REPRODUCE.
THEIR CONES NEED HEAT TO OPEN
AND RELEASE THEIR SEEDS.
ASHES MAKE GREAT TREE FOOD.
AND MORE SUNSHINE GETS THROUGH,
HELPING NEW BUSHES AND TREES
GROW A LOT BETTER.
THIS IS GOOD FOR ANIMALS
LOOKING FOR FOOD.
BUT SOME FIRES CAN BE
REALLY BAD.
Tree Zoey says HEY!
WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?
IT'S BAD FOR FORESTS WHEN
FIRES GET OUT OF CONTROL.
Zoey says MOST FOREST FIRES ARE CAUSED
BY ONE LIVING CREATURE.
CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE?
Tree ZOey says NOPE. IT'S THIS CREATURE:
HUMANS!
Zoey says WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED TOASTING
YOUR MARSHMALLOW,
MAKE SURE THE CAMPFIRE IS OUT.
HERE'S A QUESTION FROM PIERCE.
A boy named Pierce pops up on Zoey’s laptop screen and says DOES THE WEATHER CHANGE
BECAUSE OF FORESTS?
Zoey says I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH,
AND, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
I'VE MADE AN ANIMATION.
An animation shows a caveman in a forest and trees absorbing carbon dioxide.
Zoey says FORESTS AFFECT THE WEATHER
AND CLIMATE IN A LOT OF WAYS.
FIRST, THEY DRAW A GAS
CALLED CARBON DIOXIDE
OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
An animated sun heats up the Earth.
An animated Earth says HEY!
Zoey says CARBON DIOXIDE IS
A GREENHOUSE GAS
THAT HEATS UP THE ATMOSPHERE.
SO HAVING FORESTS HELPS KEEP
THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE
FROM GETTING SUPER-HOT.
AND FORESTS CREATE SHADE,
KEEPING THINGS COOL
BENEATH THEIR LEAVES.
THEIR ROOT SYSTEMS ABSORB WATER,
WHICH HELPS PREVENT FLOODING.
The animated caveman say COOL!
Zoey says WITHOUT TREES
TO SOAK UP WATER...
The trees disappear from the animated forest.
The caveman sees the water coming toward him and says UH-OH.
Zoey says RIVERS COULD
FLOOD MORE EASILY,
AND DESERTS COULD SPREAD,
BECAUSE THE WATER RUNS AWAY
INSTEAD OF BEING STORED
IN THE TREES.
A sweaty caveman says UGH.
Zoey says DON'T YOU BREATHE EASIER
KNOWING THAT FORESTS ARE
TAKING CARE OF US?
HEY! THAT GIVES ME
AN IDEA FOR...
In animation, Zoey waves from the front door of the house, which rises on robot legs and walks away.
A caption reads "Do try this at home."
Zoey says HERE'S SOMETHING SUPER-EASY,
BUT I BET A LOT OF YOU
DON'T DO THIS.
NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN THE WOODS,
TAKE DEEP BREATHS OF FRESH AIR.
I FOUND OUT THAT SOME SCIENTISTS
SAY THAT JUST BEING IN THE WOODS
CAN MAKE US
HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A caption reads "Ask a friend."
A girl with brown hair in pigtails says I REALLY LIKE BEING
AROUND TREES.
A girl with brown hair in a ponytail says IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE
I COULD DO ANYTHING I WANT,
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH SPACE.
A boy with wavy brown hair says YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE
TO PLAY IN IT,
BUT I WOULDN'T STAY
THERE FOREVER.
A blond girl with glasses says YOU CAN HIKE, AND
IT MAKES YOU FEEL SPORTY.
A girl with wavy brown hair in a ponytail says I LIKE A LOT OF THINGS
ABOUT THE FOREST.
THERE ARE A LOT OF RELAXING
NOISES IN THE FOREST
OF, LIKE, BIRDS TO WATER.
IT RELAXES YOU.
A boy with very short brown hair says I LIKE CLIMBING TREES.
A boy with wavy brown hair says I FEEL HAPPY, EXCITED,
AND ALIVE.
Zoey says SO, IF YOU'RE EVER CAMPING,
OR IN THE PARK WITH LOTS
OF TREES, TRY IT OUT.
LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS
OF THE BIRDS
AND THE WIND
IN THE LEAVES.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH
OF FRESHLY MADE OXYGEN.
AND SMELL THE SOIL
AND THE PLANTS.
IT JUST MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL
BETTER AND HEALTHIER.
AND THAT TAKES US BACK TO THE
QUESTION THAT STARTED IT ALL.
Julia says DO WE NEED FORESTS?
Zoey says WELL, JULIA,
THE BIG ANSWER IS...
(KNUCKLES CRACKING)
She plays the organ and says YES. AND I WROTE A SONG
INSPIRED BY YOUR QUESTION.
(music plays)
A clip shows several Zoeys in tree costumes.
Zoey sings a song that says THE FORESTS ARE
A SWINGING PLACE
FOR MONKEYS,
MOOSE AND BATS
(music plays)
BEARS, RACCOONS,
WOLVES AND WEASELS
IT'S THEIR HABITAT
(music plays)
TIGERS, BUGS,
GORILLAS, SNAKES
ORANGUTANS AND BEES
(BUZZING SOUND)
THE WORLD LOOKS DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU SEE
THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES
(music plays)
WOOD FOR HOUSES
AND FOR WARMTH
CHAIRS, AND PIANO KEYS
TOILET PAPER,
CARDBOARD BOXES
AND TISSUE WHEN WE SNEEZE
ACHOO!
MEDICINE AND FURNITURE
AND OXYGEN TO BREATHE
THE WORLD LOOKS DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU SEE
THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES
Zoey slides down a zip line.
Zoey says THAT'S MY SHOW FOR TODAY.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR MORE
FINDING STUFF OUT.
I THINK I'LL HUG A TREE.
She hugs the fir seedling and says OW! YOU'RE PRICKLY.
MAYBE I'D BE BETTER OFF
HUGGING A MOOSE.
(MOOING)
A moose approaches. Zoey runs away.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "Forest for the trees" song plays.

The song goes WOOD FOR HOUSES
AND FOR WARMTH
CHAIRS, AND PIANO KEYS
TOILET PAPER,
CARDBOARD BOXES
AND TISSUE WHEN WE SNEEZE
ACHOO!
MEDICINE AND FURNITURE
AND OXYGEN TO BREATHE
THE WORLD LOOKS DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU SEE
THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
As she plays the ukulele, animated musical notes jumps up and down the screen.
(HOWLING)
(HOWLING)
In the woods, Zoey pops out from behind a tree.
Zoey says HOPE I DIDN'T SCARE YOU.
THIS IS A MOOSE CALLER,
AND THAT...
(HOWLING)... WAS A MOOSE CALL.
I'M USING IT BECAUSE TODAY
I'M GOING INTO THE WOODS
TO EXPLORE A PLACE THAT I'VE HAD
A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT,
INCLUDING THIS ONE.
A girl named "Julia" pops up inside a frame on the screen.
She says DO WE NEED FORESTS?
Zoey says WELL, JULIA,
I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW.
I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE
A NICE PLACE.
BUT DO WE REALLY NEED FORESTS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
An animated plant says I DON'T KNOW.
Zoey says BY THE END OF THE SHOW,
I'LL HAVE THE ANSWER.
MEANWHILE, HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM ALESSANDRO.
A boy with straight brown hair pops up and says IS IT BAD TO CUT DOWN TREES
IN THE FOREST?
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
Dressed as a lumberjack, Zoey says IS IT BAD TO CUT DOWN TREES
IN THE FOREST?
OF COURSE NOT.
LOOK HOW MANY THERE ARE.
IF I CUT DOWN TREES FOREVER,
THERE'D STILL BE A LOT MORE.
She turns on a chainsaw and starts cutting the trees around her.
She says WOAH.
HEY! WHERE DID ALL THE TREES GO?
Zoey says PEOPLE USE TO THINK
THAT FORESTS WERE ENDLESS,
AND THAT THEY COULD CUT DOWN
AS MANY TREES AS THEY WANTED.
AND THERE WERE A LOT
OF FORESTS.
I CHECKED,
AND SCIENTISTS THINK
THAT AT ONE TIME FORESTS COVERED
THIS MUCH OF THE WORLD.
An animation shows two thirds of the Earth covered in trees.
Zoey says BUT, BECAUSE OF PEOPLE
CUTTING DOWN TREES,
THE FOREST NOW ONLY COVERS
THIS MUCH OF THE WORLD.
The animation shows the Earth with only one third covered in trees.
Zoey says I FOUND OUT THAT,
WITHOUT FORESTS,
WILD ANIMALS HAVE
NO PLACE TO LIVE.
NOWADAYS, THEY EVEN GO
INTO NEIGHBORHOODS,
WHERE PEOPLE LIVE.
Pictures show wild animals living on the streets.
Zoey says ANIMALS DEFINITELY NEED FORESTS
FOR THEIR HOME.
AND AMANDA HAD A QUESTION
ABOUT THAT.
A girl with brown hair says HOW MANY KINDS OF LIVING THINGS
ARE IN THE FOREST?
Zoey says LIVING THINGS,
LIKE BIRDS, MAMMALS,
AMPHIBIANS,
REPTILES, INSECTS,
MICROBES,
BIG LIVING THINGS,
TINY LIVING THINGS,
THINGS THAT EAT PLANTS,
THINGS THAT EAT THE THINGS
THAT EAT PLANTS,
AND THERE ARE PLANTS TOO.
HEAD GETTING WARM.
BRAIN TRYING TO IMAGINE
ALL THOSE CREATURES.
THERE MUST BE A HUNDRED.
NO, A THOUSAND.
NO, TENS OF THOUSANDS.
CREATURES OVERLOAD!
AGH!
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says THEY'RE STILL DISCOVERING
NEW SPECIES ALL THE TIME.
AND NO ONE KNOWS
HOW MANY KINDS OF LIVING THINGS
ARE IN THE FOREST.
BUT THEY ALL NEED TO EAT.
AND WE'RE GOING TO MEET
SOME OF THEM RIGHT NOW.
She grabs her ukulele and sings SHE KNOWS ABOUT ANIMALS
THAT LIVE IN THE FOREST
SHE'S BRINGING SOME IN NOW
AND I KNOW THAT
THEY WON'T BORE US
HERE'S JENNIFER CYR-DEVINE.
Jen enters the attic. She’s in her thirties, with long straight brown hair and wears white trousers and a blue T-shirt. She carries a bird on her hand.
Jen says HI!
Zoey says HI!
THIS DOESN'T EAT PEOPLE,
DOES IT?
Jen says NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
DON'T WORRY. HA!
THIS IS ACTUALLY
AN AMERICAN KESTREL.
Zoey says WOW.
Jen says AND HER NAME IS SAPHIRA.
Zoey says WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?
Jen says WELL, THIS IS A TYPE
OF BIRD THAT LIVES
IN OPEN FIELDS AND MEADOWS
OFTEN CLOSE TO FORESTS,
SO THE FORESTS ARE A LITTLE BIT
LIKE A REFRIGERATOR,
WHEREBY SOMETIMES THE MICE
AND THE INSECTS ALL COME OUT,
AND WHEN SHE CAN SPOT THEM...
OH! SHE'S IN SEVENTH HEAVEN.
THAT WAY SHE CAN FIND ALL SORTS
OF YUMMY FOOD TO EAT.
Zoey says SO, WHAT DO YOU GUYS
FEED HER?
Jen says WELL, AT THE ECOMUSEUM ZOO,
WE FEED HER MICE,
AND WE SOMETIMES FEED HER
LITTLE BIRDS, BECAUSE
THAT'S SOMETIMES WHAT THEY'LL
BE EATING IN THE WILD AS WELL.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO
AND GET SOME MORE?
Zoey says SURE!
Jen says EXCELLENT.
Jen comes back with a snake.
Zoey says WOW. WHAT KIND
OF SNAKE IS THAT?
Jen says THIS IS WHAT WE CALL
A BLACK RAT SNAKE.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE REFER TO THEM
AS GREY RAT SNAKES.
HE LOVES TO CLIMB UP INTO TREES.
I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
CONSIDERING HE DOESN'T HAVE
ANY ARMS OR LEGS,
BUT THESE GUYS CAN ACTUALLY
CLIMB VERY EASILY.
Zoey says DOES IT BITE?
Jen says THEY CAN BITE.
WOULD YOU STILL LIKE TO TOUCH?
Zoey says SURE.
(JENNIFER LAUGHS)
Zoey says WOAH. THAT'S LIKE SCALY.
THAT'S FUNNY.
Jen says THOSE ARE ALL SCALES.
THEY HAVE THEM
ALL OVER THEIR BODIES.
Now Jen holds a big frog.
Zoey says WOW!
Jen says THIS FROG IS HUGE!
IT'S ACTUALLY
WHAT WE CALL A BULL FROG,
BECAUSE THIS IS
A LARGE TYPE OF FROG,
JUST LIKE BULLS ARE
PRETTY LARGE.
Zoey says SO, WHY'S IT GOOD FOR THEM
TO LIVE IN THE FOREST?
Jen says IN THE FOREST WHERE THEY LIVE,
AS LONG AS IT'S NEAR WATER,
THEY'LL BE ABLE TO FIND ALL
SORTS OF INSECTS
AND ALL SORTS OF LITTLE
MICE TO EAT.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY LOVE.
THEY CAN EAT FISH THAT ARE
FOUND IN THE WATER
AS WELL AS A MAMMAL
THAT FLIES AT NIGHT - BATS!
Zoey says SERIOUSLY?
Jen says OH YEAH.
AND DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
HOW THEY EAT THE BAT?
Zoey says HOW?
Jen says WELL,
THEY HAVE TO LAUNCH TOWARDS IT
WITH THEIR BODIES,
THEIR MOUTHS OPEN, THEIR TONGUES
STICKING OUT LIKE THIS.
THEY CATCH THE BAT
IN THEIR MOUTHS,
WITH THEIR TEETH,
IT KEEPS THEM IN PLACE,
AND THEN THEY PUSH IT DOWN
WITH THEIR HANDS AND THE MUSCLES
IN THEIR THROAT.
THEY HAVE TO BRING THEIR EYES
INSIDE THEIR HEADS
AND PUSH THE FOOD
RIGHT DOWN THEIR THROAT.
Zoey says THAT'S SO COOL.
Jen says THIS IS WHAT
WE CALL AN OPOSSUM.
AND THIS IS FROM
THE MARSUPIAL GROUP,
SO IT'S THE SAME GROUP
AS KOALAS AND KANGAROOS.
Zoey says WHAT DOES SHE EAT?
Jen says SHE CAN EAT A LITTLE BIT
OF EVERYTHING, ACTUALLY.
SHE'S RATHER OMNIVOROUS,
SO SHE CAN EAT FRUIT,
SHE CAN EAT SEEDS AND NUTS,
SHE CAN EVEN EAT OTHER TYPES
OF ANIMALS, LIKE INSECTS, MICE.
SO YOU CAN SEE, LIKE
THE FOREST FLOOR, SHE'S TRYING
TO PUSH ALL THE LEAVES AROUND,
ALL THE PIECES OF WOOD,
AND SHE'S TRYING TO FIND
ALL SORTS OF FRUITS
THAT MIGHT HAVE
FALLEN FROM TREES,
AND INSECTS THAT ARE HIDDEN
UNDER ALL THESE BRANCHES,
JUST LIKE SHE'D BE DOING
IN THE FOREST.
Zoey says THANKS FOR BEING ON MY SHOW
AND HELPING ME FIND STUFF OUT.
Jen says THANKS FOR HAVING US.
Zoey says HERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION,
FROM JOSEPH.
A boy with wavy brown hair says ARE ALL FORESTS THE SAME?
Zoey says TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
I'VE COME TO MEET AN EXPERT
ON VANCOUVER ISLAND
THAT HAS SOME OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL FORESTS ON EARTH.
Zoey plays her ukulele and sings SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE TREES IN
ALL THE FORESTS THAT SHE SEES
HERE'S JULIE FORTIN!
YEAH.
Julie slides down on a zip line.
Julie is in her twenties, with long straight brown hair and wears gray trousers, a blue shirt and a navy blue sweater.
Julie says SO I BROUGHT YOU
THIS LITTLE FIR SEEDLING.
AND ONE DAY,
THIS LITTLE SEEDLING
IS GOING TO BE A HUGE PART
OF THIS BIG FOREST.
Zoey says HOW TALL COULD IT GROW?
Julie says DOUGLAS FIRS CAN GROW UP
TO 60 METERS TALL
AND HAVE REALLY WIDE TRUNKS.
Zoey says WOW.
Julie says SO THE KIND OF FOREST
IT WOULD LIVE IN
IS LIKE THE KIND OF FOREST
AROUND HERE.
IT'S A TEMPERATE RAINFOREST.
THE KINDS OF TREES
WE WOULD FIND HERE
ARE ESPECIALLY THE DOUGLAS FIR
BUT ALSO THINGS
LIKE THIS ARBUTUS
RIGHT BEHIND US.
THE ARBUTUS IS A
VERY INTERESTING TREE
BECAUSE IT SHEDS ITS BARK
IN THE SUMMER
INSTEAD OF SHEDDING ITS LEAVES
IN THE FALL.
Zoey says WHAT OTHER KIND
OF FORESTS ARE THERE?
Julie says THERE ARE
TROPICAL RAINFORESTS.
Zoey says LIKE THE JUNGLE IN THE AMAZON?
Julie says YEAH.
THERE ARE TEMPERATE RAINFORESTS,
WHICH IS LIKE THE ONE
THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
THERE ARE BOREAL FORESTS
FURTHER NORTH.
AND THERE IS THIS REALLY COOL
THING CALLED CLOUD FORESTS,
WHICH ARE FORESTS
THAT KIND OF SWEAT
AND THEN THEY CREATE
THEIR OWN CLOUDS.
Zoey says THAT'S REALLY COOL.
Julie says YEAH.
Zoey says WHY AREN'T ALL FORESTS THE SAME?
LIKE, WHY ISN'T A FOREST
LIKE THE JUNGLE?
Julie says NOT ALL FORESTS
ARE THE SAME,
BECAUSE TREES NEED
THREE THINGS TO GROW.
THEY NEED LIGHT,
OR ENERGY.
THEY NEED WATER.
AND THEY NEED NUTRIENTS.
LIGHT, WATER, AND NUTRIENTS
AREN'T SPREAD OUT THE SAME
AROUND THE GLOBE.
FOR EXAMPLE,
IN THE DESERT,
THERE ISN'T ENOUGH WATER
TO GROW FORESTS.
Zoey says WHAT ABOUT IN THE ARCTIC?
HERE'S A QUESTION FROM NEIL,
WHO LIVES THERE, WAY UP NORTH.
An animated map shows the location of "Igloolik."
A boy in a knitted hat says I LIVE IN IGLOOLIK.
WHY AREN'T THERE FORESTS HERE?
Julie says YOU WON'T FIND FORESTS UP NORTH
IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
BECAUSE IT'S JUST TOO COLD
FOR TREES TO GROW.
Dresses as a scientist, Zoey says SPEAKING OF TREES AND FORESTS,
WHO'S IN THE MOOD
FOR A LITTLE EXPERIMENT?
An animated Zoey appears with a purple balloon with the caption "The Experiment" on it.
Scientist Zoey says DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN TELL
HOW OLD A TREE IS
BY COUNTING ITS RINGS?
NOT THESE KIND.
(PHONE RINGS)
NOT THOSE KIND OF RINGS EITHER.
THESE KIND.
A clip shows images of tree rings.
Scientist Zoey says I ASKED MY FRIENDS KASHVI
AND NOAH TO COUNT SOME RINGS.
Kashvi is around 10, with shoulder length straight brown hair. She wears blue trousers, a white long sleeved T-shirt and a headband.
Noah is around 11, with short brown hair and wears gray sweatpants with neon yellow stripes on the sides and a forest green T-shirt.
They both count the rings on slices of tree trunks.
Zoey says IN THE SPRING,
TREES GROW VERY QUICKLY,
SLOW DOWN IN THE FALL,
AND THEN STOP IN THE WINTER.
THIS CREATES A TREE RING
EVERY YEAR.
Kashvi says I THINK MINE'S
ABOUT 23 YEARS OLD.
Noah says I THINK MINE'S
ABOUT 37.
Kashvi says WOW!
BUT THAT'S SO SMALL.
Noah says YEAH.
AND THAT ONE'S BIG.
I WONDER WHY THIS ONE'S
OLDER BUT SMALLER.
Zoey says WELL, I FOUND OUT IT'S BECAUSE
TREES ARE JUST LIKE PEOPLE.
THEY GROW IN
ALL DIFFERENT SIZES.
IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHERE
THE TREES ARE GROWING.
RINGS TELL YOU A LOT
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.
LIKE, IF THE TREE HAD
ENOUGH WATER,
OR HOW HOT OR COLD
IT WAS THAT YEAR.
A WIDE RING MEANS A TREE HAD
WHAT IT NEEDED TO GROW,
BUT A SKINNY RING MEANS
IT MAY HAVE HAD A TOUGH YEAR.
SO, BECAUSE RINGS ARE
NOT ALL THE SAME,
THEY'RE TRICKY TO COUNT.
Kashvi says I THINK THIS TREE
WAS BORN IN 1932.
Zoey says THAT'S, LIKE, WHEN
MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN!
Noah says WELL, MINE WAS
BORN IN 1894.
Zoey says THAT'S WHEN MY GREAT-GREAT-
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER
WAS BORN!
THAT SEEMS PRETTY OLD.
BUT I FOUND OUT THAT SOME TREES
HAVE THOUSANDS OF RINGS.
THE OLDEST IS NOT
THAT BIG,
BUT IT'S STILL
5,000 YEARS OLD!
THAT'S 5,000 RINGS.
IMAGINE COUNTING THAT!
Noah says MY TREE IS
120 YEARS OLD.
Kashvi says MINE'S 84 YEARS OLD.
Noah says BYE, ZOEY.
Kashvi says BYE.
Zoey says THANKS,
KASHVI AND NOAH.
Zoey slides down a zip line and says NOW HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM ANDREW.
Andrew says WHAT DO WE GET
FROM THE FOREST?
Zoey says OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD,
I KNOW THAT WE GET WOOD
FOR HOUSES, LIKE THIS.
A toy log house appears.
Zoey says AND WE GET PAPER FROM TREES
IN THE FOREST.
TRY LIVING WITHOUT
TOILET PAPER.
THANK YOU FOR THAT ONE,
FORESTS.
I CHECKED, AND THERE ARE
LOTS OF OTHER THINGS
THAT WE GET FROM FORESTS.
AND THAT'S THE SUBJECT
FOR TODAY'S...
(FANFARE)
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says MY GREAT CHALLENGE!
Zoey is in the attic with 4 participants.
Zoey says TODAY'S CHALLENGERS ARE
AIDYN AND TRISTAN.
They say YEAH!
Aydin is around 11, with long slightly wavy light brown hair. She wears denim Bermuda shorts and a purple T-shirt.
Tristan is around 12, with very short brown hair and he wears gray Bermuda shorts and a green T-shirt.
Zoey says AND JUSTIN AND STERLING.
They say YEAH!
Justin is around 11, with short blond hair and wears blue shorts and a blue T-shirt with a print.
Sterling is around 11, with short wavy brown hair and he wears jeans and a green T-shirt.
Zoey says SO, AIDYN AND TRISTAN,
YOU'RE TEAM OAK.
JUSTIN AND STERLING,
YOU'RE TEAM PINE.
YOU SEE THOSE ITEMS
ON THE TABLE, RIGHT?
Justin and Sterling say YEAH.
Several random items appear on screen, such as a wooden mask, paper towel, beans, an electric guitar, maple syrup, rubber boots, etc.
Zoey says YOUR CHALLENGE
IS TO PICK UP
WHAT YOU THINK IS MADE
FROM THINGS FROM FORESTS.
THE TEAM THAT GUESSES
THE MOST CORRECTLY,
AND THE LEAST INCORRECTLY, WINS.
LET'S PULL STRAWS...
I MEAN BRANCHES
TO DECIDE WHO GOES FIRST.
Justin gets the longest straw.
Zoey says AND TEAM PINE WINS,
SO YOU GUYS GO FIRST.
BUT WAIT UNTIL I BLOW
MY SUPER MOOSE SIGNAL.
3, 2, 1...
(MOOING)
An animated moose says TIME TO MOO-VE.
Sterling says I THINK WE SHOULD PICK
THE HOCKEY STICK.
Justin says YEAH. IT'S MADE OUT OF WOOD.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
Aydin says WHAT ABOUT THE...
Tristan says PAPER'S MADE OUT
OF TREES, RIGHT?
Aydin says I DON'T... UH, YEAH.
Tristan says SO WE SHOULD MAYBE TAKE THAT.
Aydin says YEAH.
Justin says WE SHOULD TAKE MAPLE SYRUP.
Sterling says YEAH.
Justin says IT'S MADE IN SPRINGTIME
FROM TREES.
Aydin says SHOULD WE TAKE
THE BIRD HOUSE?
IT'S MADE FROM WOOD.
Tristan says SURE.
Justin says WHAT ABOUT THIS
MASK-LOOKING THING?
Sterling says YEAH. IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S MADE OF WOOD.
Aydin says WHAT ABOUT THIS BOOK?
IT'S MADE FROM PAPER,
SO IT'S PROBABLY FROM TREES.
Tristan says YEAH.
Justin says WHAT ABOUT
THIS TOILET PAPER?
IT'S MADE FROM...
THE PAPER IS MADE FROM TREES.
Aydin says NOW CAN WE TRY
THE ELECTRIC GUITAR?
Tristan says YEAH, MAYBE.
Justin says HMMM...
Sterling says THE ROCKS ARE NATURAL.
Justin says UH, I THINK THAT'S COAL.
Sterling says IT'S STILL NATURAL.
LET'S TAKE IT.
Justin says OH, YEAH.
THAT'S TRUE.
Tristan says WE SHOULD TAKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
Aydin says I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS. IS IT BUTTER?
WE SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE IT.
Sterling says OH, PAPER.
Justin says YEAH, PAPER.
Tristan says WE COULD TAKE
THAT T-SHIRT. IT'S...
Aydin says YEAH.
Justin says YEAH, THIS BOX.
Tristan says MAYBE THIS BOUNCY BALL.
Aysdin says MAYBE.
Justin says LET'S JUST TAKE
PING PONG BALLS.
(LAUGHING) THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
WE CAN REALLY PICK.
Zoey says BOTH TEAMS ARE DONE.
THEY DID NOT PICK
THE RUBBER BOOTS,
PLASTIC CONTAINER,
OR THE RUBBER TIRE.
ARE YOU SURE EVERYTHING ON YOUR
TABLE COMES FROM THE FOREST?
Aydin says NO.
Zoey says I FORGOT TO MENTION: YOU LOSE
A POINT FOR EVERY WRONG ANSWER.
I'LL GIVE YOU ONE CHANCE
TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK
THAT YOU DON'T THINK
COMES FROM THE FOREST.
Tristan says LET'S PUT BACK THE GUITAR.
Aydin says YEAH.
Tristan says MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT THAT BUTTER.
Aydin says BUTTER, YEAH.
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS BALL?
Tristan says YEAH, SURE.
Justin says THESE PING-PONG BALLS...
Sterling says THEY'RE PLASTIC.
Justin says YEAH.
AND THEY'RE PING-PONGISH.
Zoey says OKAY. TEAM OAK,
YOU HAVE SIX ITEMS
THAT YOU THOUGHT CAME
FROM THE FOREST.
TEAM PINE, YOU HAVE
NINE ITEMS
THAT YOU THOUGHT CAME
FROM THE FOREST.
SO, THE GOOD NEWS IS,
EVERYTHING YOU PUT ON YOUR TABLE
CAME FROM THE FOREST.
Justin and Sterling say YES!
Zoey says BUT THE BAD NEWS IS,
EVERYTHING THAT YOU PUT DOWN
OR DIDN'T PICK UP
ALSO CAME FROM THE FOREST.
They all say AWWW!
Zoey says IT WAS PROBABLY EASIER TO FIGURE
OUT STUFF LIKE PAPER,
MAPLE SYRUP,
OR THE HOCKEY STICK.
BUT I FOUND OUT THAT
PING-PONG BALLS AND FABRICS
CAN BE MADE FROM TINY FIBERS
FROM PLANTS AND TREES,
JUST LIKE PAPER.
MARGARINE CAN BE MADE
FROM PALM TREE OIL.
RUBBER BALLS AND TIRES ARE MADE
WITH THE HELP OF RUBBER TREES.
THAT PLASTIC CONTAINER
IS MADE FROM OIL.
AND JUST LIKE COAL,
IT'S A LEFTOVER OF FORESTS
THAT GREW HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF YEARS AGO.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
MOST SURPRISED ABOUT?
Sterling says THE PING-PONG BALLS.
Tristan says THE GUITAR.
Justin says YEAH, THE GUITAR.
Zoey says YUP, A LOT OF ELECTRIC GUITARS
ARE MADE OF WOOD AND VARNISH.
WELL, THANKS FOR BEING ON
MY SHOW AND DOING THE CHALLENGE.
They all say YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says NOW I'M GOING
BACK TO THE FOREST
TO SEE WHAT ELSE
COMES FROM THERE.
I HAVE A FEW GUESTS WHO KNOW
THE FOREST REALLY WELL.
In the forest, Zoey meets a woman with 3 children.
Zoey says THIS IS NITANIS
AND HER FAMILY.
Nitanis is in her thirties, with long curly brown hair and she wears printed leggings and a white T-shirt.
Zoey says THIS IS CHYYAH.
Chyya is around 10, with long straight brown hair and wears a straw hat and a dress with stripes and an animal face printed on the front.
Zoey says THIS IS TSEEQWATIN.
Tseeqwatin is around 11, with straight brown hair and wears blue trousers and a blue and white striped sweatshirt.
Zoey says AND THIS IS HA'LIDZOX.
Ha’lidzox is around 7, with long brown hair and wears a summer dress.
Zoey says AND THAT'S NITANIS.
THEY'RE MEMBERS OF THE
NUU-CHAH-NULTH FIRST NATIONS.
AND THEY LIVE HERE, IN A FOREST
ON VANCOUVER ISLAND.
NITANIS, WHY IS NATURE
SO IMPORTANT TO YOUR CULTURE?
Nitanis says FOREST WAS EVERYTHING TO US.
INSTEAD OF GOING
TO A GROCERY STORE,
WE WOULD GET ALL OUR FOOD
FROM HERE.
EVERYTHING THAT WE USED
TO STAY ALIVE
OUR SHELTER, OUR FOOD,
OR EVEN OUR CLOTHING.
AND SOMETIMES
WE DON'T EVEN NOTICE
THE SMALLEST LITTLE THINGS
WAS USED FOR EVERYTHING.
SAY, WHAT YOU'RE
SITTING ON, ZOEY.
THIS IS CALLED SPHAGNUM MOSS.
AND SPHAGNUM MOSS WAS PICKED,
AND THEN ALL THE STICKS
WERE TAKEN OUT OF IT
TO MAKE IT REALLY SOFT,
AND THEY WERE USED AS DIAPERS.
Zoey says WOW.
Nitanis says IT WAS THE VERY FIRST
DISPOSABLE DIAPER.
AND IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
CHYYAH BROUGHT YOU A BASKET.
Zoey says WOW. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. THANK
YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S MADE OUT
OF THE FOREST.
I'M SO EXCITED.
Chyya says THIS IS A SALMONBERRY.
A SALMONBERRY.
Zoey says WOW! THAT TASTES DELICIOUS.
Natanis says THIS IS AN
INDIGENOUS BLACKBERRY.
IT'S LIKE A LITTLE VINE
THAT GROWS.
AND THE YOUNG GIRLS USED
TO LIKE TAKING IT HERE,
AND YOU WOULD MAKE
A LITTLE HAIR ORNAMENT.
AND THE GIRLS WOULD WEAR IT
TO DECORATE THEIR HAIR.
YOU'D SPEND ALL DAY OUT HERE,
AND YOU'D BE SINGING SONGS.
AND YOU'D BE SINGING
TO THE TREES.
AND YOU'D ALSO BE LETTING
THE BEARS KNOW THAT "I'M HERE."
Zoey says WE'RE OUT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS,
LOOKING FOR PLANTS
AND BERRIES.
SO WE HAVE TO SING A SONG TO LET
THE BEARS KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE.
The kids sing a song that says WAH-HEY-OH
WAH-HEY
WAH-HEY-EY-OH...
Zoey says BEARS HATE SURPRISES.
IF YOU SURPRISE A BEAR, HE MIGHT
THINK YOU'RE THREATENING HIM.
AND HE COULD ATTACK
TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
SINGING LETS HIM KNOW
THAT YOU'RE COMING
AND DON'T MEAN ANY HARM.
BEARS LIKE TO BE ALONE.
AND USUALLY THEY'D MUCH RATHER
BE OUT OF YOUR WAY.
They sing WAH-HEY-EY-OH
WAH-HEY-OH
Natanis says ALL AROUND US, RIGHT IN
THIS ONE LITTLE AREA,
WE HAVE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS
OF MEDICINE AND FOOD.
SO EVERYWHERE YOU WALKED, THERE
WAS SOMETHING THAT WE USED.
CEDAR WAS THE MOST-USED TOOL
OF THE COASTAL PEOPLE.
HUGE CANOES WOULD BE
MADE OUT OF THIS.
AND THEY WOULD BE POUNDED
INTO VERY FINE FIBER.
AND THEY WOULD BE MADE
INTO CLOTHES.
Zoey says I NEVER THOUGHT THAT
YOU COULD USE SO MUCH THINGS
IN THE FOREST.
THANKS FOR BEING ON MY SHOW.
The kids say YOU'RE WELCOME, ZOEY.
Back in the attic, Zoey says I THINK WE'RE GETTING CLOSER
TO ANSWERING IF WE NEED FORESTS.
ANIMALS, FOR SURE,
NEED FORESTS.
AND WE NEED A LOT OF STUFF
WE GET FROM FORESTS.
BUT ARE THEY GOOD
FOR ANYTHING ELSE?
I THINK I HAVE TIME FOR
A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.
A boy named Jemin pops up and says HOW DO FOREST FIRES START?
(SHIVERING IN FEAR)
In a tree costume, Zoey says I CHECKED, AND I FOUND SOMETHING
OUT SUPER-SURPRISING.
FIRES ARE A NATURAL PART
OF THE FOREST LIFE CYCLE.
(THUNDER CRACKS)
(TREE GASPS)
Lighting crashes next to Zoey and lights up the moss on the forest floor.
Zoey says LIGHTNING CAUSES
LOTS OF FOREST FIRES,
BUT EXPERTS SAY THAT CAN
ACTUALLY HELP TREES.
FOREST FIRES ARE AS IMPORTANT
TO THE FOREST
AS THE SUN AND THE RAIN.
SOME TREES, LIKE THESE
GIANT SEQUOIAS,
DEPEND ON FIRES
TO REPRODUCE.
THEIR CONES NEED HEAT TO OPEN
AND RELEASE THEIR SEEDS.
ASHES MAKE GREAT TREE FOOD.
AND MORE SUNSHINE GETS THROUGH,
HELPING NEW BUSHES AND TREES
GROW A LOT BETTER.
THIS IS GOOD FOR ANIMALS
LOOKING FOR FOOD.
BUT SOME FIRES CAN BE
REALLY BAD.
Tree Zoey says HEY!
WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?
IT'S BAD FOR FORESTS WHEN
FIRES GET OUT OF CONTROL.
Zoey says MOST FOREST FIRES ARE CAUSED
BY ONE LIVING CREATURE.
CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE?
Tree ZOey says NOPE. IT'S THIS CREATURE:
HUMANS!
Zoey says WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED TOASTING
YOUR MARSHMALLOW,
MAKE SURE THE CAMPFIRE IS OUT.
HERE'S A QUESTION FROM PIERCE.
A boy named Pierce pops up on Zoey’s laptop screen and says DOES THE WEATHER CHANGE
BECAUSE OF FORESTS?
Zoey says I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH,
AND, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
I'VE MADE AN ANIMATION.
An animation shows a caveman in a forest and trees absorbing carbon dioxide.
Zoey says FORESTS AFFECT THE WEATHER
AND CLIMATE IN A LOT OF WAYS.
FIRST, THEY DRAW A GAS
CALLED CARBON DIOXIDE
OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
An animated sun heats up the Earth.
An animated Earth says HEY!
Zoey says CARBON DIOXIDE IS
A GREENHOUSE GAS
THAT HEATS UP THE ATMOSPHERE.
SO HAVING FORESTS HELPS KEEP
THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE
FROM GETTING SUPER-HOT.
AND FORESTS CREATE SHADE,
KEEPING THINGS COOL
BENEATH THEIR LEAVES.
THEIR ROOT SYSTEMS ABSORB WATER,
WHICH HELPS PREVENT FLOODING.
The animated caveman say COOL!
Zoey says WITHOUT TREES
TO SOAK UP WATER...
The trees disappear from the animated forest.
The caveman sees the water coming toward him and says UH-OH.
Zoey says RIVERS COULD
FLOOD MORE EASILY,
AND DESERTS COULD SPREAD,
BECAUSE THE WATER RUNS AWAY
INSTEAD OF BEING STORED
IN THE TREES.
A sweaty caveman says UGH.
Zoey says DON'T YOU BREATHE EASIER
KNOWING THAT FORESTS ARE
TAKING CARE OF US?
HEY! THAT GIVES ME
AN IDEA FOR...
In animation, Zoey waves from the front door of the house, which rises on robot legs and walks away.
A caption reads "Do try this at home."
Zoey says HERE'S SOMETHING SUPER-EASY,
BUT I BET A LOT OF YOU
DON'T DO THIS.
NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN THE WOODS,
TAKE DEEP BREATHS OF FRESH AIR.
I FOUND OUT THAT SOME SCIENTISTS
SAY THAT JUST BEING IN THE WOODS
CAN MAKE US
HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A caption reads "Ask a friend."
A girl with brown hair in pigtails says I REALLY LIKE BEING
AROUND TREES.
A girl with brown hair in a ponytail says IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE
I COULD DO ANYTHING I WANT,
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH SPACE.
A boy with wavy brown hair says YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE
TO PLAY IN IT,
BUT I WOULDN'T STAY
THERE FOREVER.
A blond girl with glasses says YOU CAN HIKE, AND
IT MAKES YOU FEEL SPORTY.
A girl with wavy brown hair in a ponytail says I LIKE A LOT OF THINGS
ABOUT THE FOREST.
THERE ARE A LOT OF RELAXING
NOISES IN THE FOREST
OF, LIKE, BIRDS TO WATER.
IT RELAXES YOU.
A boy with very short brown hair says I LIKE CLIMBING TREES.
A boy with wavy brown hair says I FEEL HAPPY, EXCITED,
AND ALIVE.
Zoey says SO, IF YOU'RE EVER CAMPING,
OR IN THE PARK WITH LOTS
OF TREES, TRY IT OUT.
LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS
OF THE BIRDS
AND THE WIND
IN THE LEAVES.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH
OF FRESHLY MADE OXYGEN.
AND SMELL THE SOIL
AND THE PLANTS.
IT JUST MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL
BETTER AND HEALTHIER.
AND THAT TAKES US BACK TO THE
QUESTION THAT STARTED IT ALL.
Julia says DO WE NEED FORESTS?
Zoey says WELL, JULIA,
THE BIG ANSWER IS...
(KNUCKLES CRACKING)
She plays the organ and says YES. AND I WROTE A SONG
INSPIRED BY YOUR QUESTION.
(music plays)
A clip shows several Zoeys in tree costumes.
Zoey sings a song that says THE FORESTS ARE
A SWINGING PLACE
FOR MONKEYS,
MOOSE AND BATS
(music plays)
BEARS, RACCOONS,
WOLVES AND WEASELS
IT'S THEIR HABITAT
(music plays)
TIGERS, BUGS,
GORILLAS, SNAKES
ORANGUTANS AND BEES
(BUZZING SOUND)
THE WORLD LOOKS DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU SEE
THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES
(music plays)
WOOD FOR HOUSES
AND FOR WARMTH
CHAIRS, AND PIANO KEYS
TOILET PAPER,
CARDBOARD BOXES
AND TISSUE WHEN WE SNEEZE
ACHOO!
MEDICINE AND FURNITURE
AND OXYGEN TO BREATHE
THE WORLD LOOKS DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU SEE
THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES
Zoey slides down a zip line.
Zoey says THAT'S MY SHOW FOR TODAY.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR MORE
FINDING STUFF OUT.
I THINK I'LL HUG A TREE.
She hugs the fir seedling and says OW! YOU'RE PRICKLY.
MAYBE I'D BE BETTER OFF
HUGGING A MOOSE.
(MOOING)
A moose approaches. Zoey runs away.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "Forest for the trees" song plays.
