Thompson AR. 1938. Purpose and Policy. Tree Preservation Bulletins 1 & 2. Civilian Conservation Corps. Washington, DC
Bulletins 1 and 2: Published separately in 1935, these Bulletins were combined in to one publication in 1938. The bulletin discusses the purpose of the Tree Preservation Bulletins series, a proposed outline for the series, and the National Park Service policies on tree maintenance and preservation. Tree Preservation Bulletins: 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.
