The film is about black pine forests and their values and aims to present the structured approach that was applied after the fire for the first time in Greece in mount Panron and to illustrate how we can get from the collection of seedlings to the plantation of young plants, in other words “the travelling seed”.

• professors as a documentary film about the black pine and the design and implementation of a scientifically sound restoration process of burned forests in general and of that of black pine in particular.

• specialists who can use it as a summary of the structured approach that is developed so that they can get acquainted with it, evaluate and apply it.
