Forests in Sapporo, Winter

Overview

This episode features Sapporo, a city with a population of 2 million. Just west of the city center is a vast expanse of forest to enjoy, left virtually untouched since Sapporo's pioneering days. With over 100 different species of trees, a large variety of small wild birds and animals call this forest home. Witness rare footage of Eurasian red squirrels, captured in their natural habitat as they spend the harsh winter without hibernating, while actress Charlotte Kate Fox explores the forest on a guided tour.
