Using Trees Part Three of a Series (silent, 1970s)

This is raw silent footage from an educational film presented by the California Department of Water Resources, focusing on the role of forests and the processes involved in using trees. It combines forest footage, including scenes of tree cutting, mushroom growth, and lumber milling, with creative puppet sequences. The production features forest walks led by a ranger and participation from local school children, adding a playful, instructional tone. Though silent in its archived format, the visual content highlights forestry management, the logging industry, and nature’s ecosystem, serving as both a resource and documentation of conservation practices.
