Meet the unsung heroes who steal from squirrels to regrow forests and spark hope in the battle against climate change. In the shadow of tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft, nestled within Washington's struggling timber communities, reside the unsung heroes known as the "Cone People." They collect and grow native seeds, even borrowing from squirrel caches, to preserve the forest's diversity and earn a modest living. Their unseen labor, much like the quiet workings of nature, shapes our world in ways often unacknowledged.

Cone People documents their intricate labor of love - foraging, bargaining, and baking cone - showcasing how their communities depend on tree seeds for survival. In an age dominated by billion-dollar tech companies, their story serves as a powerful reminder that the most vital solutions to our problems are often the simplest and closest to the earth.
