This production is one of a collection of historical films and videos that were digitized as part of the celebration of the centenary of the BC Forest Service in 2012. Digitization was done through a grant from the UBC Ike Barber Learning Centre and funding from the BC Forest Service Centenary Society.

This production is presented by the BC Forest Service for educational and historical reference purposes only. It represents the public policies, activities, technology and understanding of natural resource management at the date it was produced. It is hoped that by sharing these historical perspectives we can better understand the evolution in technology and knowledge that the BC Forest Service has experienced since 1912.
