Bulletin 6: Discusses spraying best practices, how to, types of sprays, insect control, and leaf and disease control Bulletin 6 was revised by Horace V. Wester, Plant Pathologist, NPS in 1968 to discuss pesticide hazards and other types of pest and disease controls. The bulletin was given a new title - Spraying and Other Controls for Diseases and Insects That Attack Trees and Shrubs 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.
