Historical NoteReturn to Top

This film appears to be part of a public relations campaign to improve the standing of the forestry industry. This film was likely part of the "Cash Crops" program, which aimed to increase the interest of small landowners in growing trees as a crop.

The Washington State Forestry Convention was an event sponsored by the University of Washington's College of Forestry Resources.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top
