Thompson AR. 1937. Safety for Tree Workers. Tree Preservation Bulletin 8. Civilian Conservation Corps. Washington, DC
Bulletin 8: Discusses safety for tree workers to include discussions of clothing, ropes, ladders, tools, tree bucket removal, fumigation, spraying, and other safety practices. Bulletin 8 was revised in 1956 and renamed Bulletin 2. Several items of equipment not in existence when the bulletin was written were in common by 1956 and are discussed in the revised edition. Except for these additions and other minor revisions, the revised bulletin is essentially unchanged from the original. 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.
