Bulletin 3: Tree Bracing discusses the techniques and best practices of tree bracing to help preserve a tree, prolong its life and prevent fungal decay. The bulletin is a technical and in-depth "how to" guide with drawings and charts. Bulletin 3 was given minor revisions and was reprinted in 1959 Tree Preservation Bulletins series: In the 1930s The National Park Service was confronted with the problem of improving and maintaining in good condition thousands of valuable shade, ornamental, or historically significant trees within a variety of areas. In order to guide those who were responsible for this work in park areas, the Civilian Conservation Corps, under the direction of the National Park Service, published the Tree Preservation Bulletins. Although the bulletins were originally intended for park employees, they received wide use by arborists and others. Most of the bulletins were revised and updated in the late 1950s.
