Somehow Hopeful

Resistance to the status quo becomes a necessary rebellion in the face of essential change. SOMEHOW HOPEFUL chronicles the story of Jason Rutledge, a woodsman who dedicates his life to proven, time-tested methods for protecting our most vital life-giving asset—a healthy, diverse forest. The woodsman's ally in the effort to restore our environment has long been mankind's most reliable partner for thousands of years: the mighty draft horse. Jason, and those who share his path, are poets, craftsmen, artists, farmers, and educators who carry out the real work needed to make our planet whole again. While critics accuse the woodsman of clinging to the past, Jason believes he is living in the future.
