- Find a Woodlands Walker.
- Talk to it. It will become hostile and attack.
- Kill it to loot a Bark of the Walkers.
- Use the bark on a Lothalor Ancient.
The ancients are the huge trees with the "confused" symbols over their heads. They are usually being attacked by nearby arcane wyrms. The bark does not work on corrupted ancients.

I asked a treant for a piece of his bark & he tried to punch me in the face.
Not all of the ancients will attack you. Two out of three, when I did the quest, simply gave me the bark and disappeared.

Description
It's not only the {race} race that has been impacted by what the blue dragonflight forces have done. The ancients of the Lothalor Woods to the southeast have been affected as well. Some have been corrupted-- avoid them at all costs--but most can still be saved. However, the treants of the woods seem to be immune to the magic seeping through the land and the arcane wyrms that have come with it. Ask the treants for their bark and feed it to the ancients. Hopefully that will be enough to save them.
