experiences. Topics discussed include early practices in climbing, spraying, and utility clearance; early
tree care equipment; impact of the Great Depression and World War II on arboricultural practices;
methods used in response to Dutch elm disease and the gypsy moth; the introduction of chainsaws
to the profession; and much more. Featured in the video are hundreds of historic photos and video
clips that bring the past to life. This video provides an insightful historical record of arboriculture
