Thanks, Dan. 

I initially meant to exclude animals, but Bambi is a good addition. :)

Jess,

For your consideration:

"Grizzly Adams" AKA James Capen Adams in (1974)

After fleeing into the mountains after he is wrongly accused of murder, woodsman "Grizzly Adams" discovers an uncanny bond to the indigenous wildlife of the region after rescuing an orphaned grizzly bear cub whom he adopts and calls "Ben". 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_and_Times_of_Grizzly_Adams

The film and TV series portrayed the fictional Grizzly Adams as a frontier woodsman who fled into the mountains after he was wrongly accused of murder. While struggling to survive, Adams saves an orphaned grizzly bear cub he adopts and names Ben. The bear, while growing to its huge adult size, becomes Adams' closest companion. Consistently kind and gentle, Adams discovers and demonstrates an uncanny ability to gain the trust of most of the indigenous wildlife of the region, and he helps, sometimes rescues, takes in and tames many species. Originally a hunter, with his learned affection for wildlife Adams resolves never to harm another animal whenever possible.

The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (1974)

Lori MacGregor in (1963)

A young Scottish girl's cat, Thomasina, apparently dies at the hands of her widowed veterinarian father. The strained relationship between the girl and her father is eventually repaired with the return of Thomasina and the aid of a beautiful and mysterious "witch" [Lori MacGregor] who seems to have powers to revive and heal animals.

Thanks, but I'm not sure. From what I can tell, it seems they are more about taking care of the animals rather than preserving the forest?

Jess,

On reflection, both of these characters are more focused on the woodland animals rather than forest itself.

I should probably be looking for characters like Ralph Waldo Emerson or Henry David Thoreau.
