Forbidden Forest is a Canadian documentary film, released in 2004. It is approximately 70 minutes long.

Jean Guy Comeau is an Acadian woodlot owner who fought his way out of poverty and retired after nearly 40 years in a pulp mill. Born to a wealthy family, Francis Wishart is a painter and winemaker with homes in France and New Brunswick. Together, they travel to Finland - home of UPM-Kymmene, one of the largest licence holders of New Brunswick Crown lands - to urge company officials to practise responsible forestry and to warn them that they may one day be held liable for the damage done by clear-cutting. The two go head-to-head with the New Brunswick government in an effort to secure a new, community-based forestry policy - one that is environmentally sustainable and that produces more jobs than the highly capital-intensive, mechanized techniques used today.

Forbidden Forest is a tale of corporate greed, lax government oversight and people passionate about the places they love.
