The critters are back on another bold mission to survive in the boreal forest – a little known place that’s the world’s largest ecosystem and a super-influencer for the health of the planet.

After its wildly successful “mockmentary” pilot season, the curious (and slightly chaotic) crew of ground squirrels are now in charge of the forest’s favourite television station. Comedy, science and retro vibes are still at the heart of the show, but the species and environment are adapting to new climate realities.

Equal parts silly and sincere, Northern Tails is original edutainment created in the Yukon, Canada – to be shared around the world.

Our home ~ the boreal forest

With a billion acres across Northern Canada, crawling with thousands of creatures and streaming with the most surface freshwater in the world, the boreal ecosystem is a super-influencer for the health of the entire planet. As we explore this vast land with a motley crew of characters, we can learn what our wild neighbours do for us and what they need to survive...

All together now! This is our love letter to the boreal forest – and a call to action. All the Northern Tails critters have come together in a tribute to the classic, global chart-topper “We Are the World”. They are taking a stand, taking care of each other and reminding us that the forest is home to all of us. #BorealBoosters
