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

those who experienced it first-hand. (©1999, VHS format,57 min.)
