This color educational film from Weyerhaeuser Forest Products gives some insight into the 1950s theories of tree farming and conservation. The film examines the "new Paul Bunyan" who is growing and harvesting trees in a highly efficient method.
The film begins showing deer roam the forest as do rams and bears. The lumberman is a tree farmer. A lumberman hacks at a tree with an ax (:06-1:20). Streams flow. Payette River Tree Farm. The new Paul Bunyans must protect trees. Mature trees are to be cut but younger ones are left to grow. Lots of forest footage (1:21-3:28). On a private road, lumberman come in and cut down trees (3:29-4:23). Logs are put onto a railroad car. "Timber!" is yelled and a tree falls after being cut. Tractors and special equipment i used nowadays to transport the logs (4:24-6:49). Trees are cut, packed together, and pulled from the woods. Bound together, the logs are set for transporting (6:50-8:15). While harvesting, trees are also growing for the future. Logs are transported out of the forest on railroad cars across bridges. Logs are dumped into the pond at the mill (8:16-9:45). A boat helps sort through the logs. Each log is reviewed to see what it is best suited for. Over 4000 products are made from wood. In some cases, the bark is sprayed off with high pressured water. Then the clean log moves into the saw mill and cut (9:46-12:04). In the past over 20% of a log couldn't be used but now they use it all. Shots of cutting wood and making lumber. Other pieces of logs are made into wood chips. Some of it is on the way to the pulp mill to be made into paper making parts (12:05-14:20). Some bark is removed and dried. The log is peeled down to a piece of wood. Dried bark is used for glue (14:21-15:12). Remaining pieces are cut to be used as fire wood. Other woods are put into floor products. Pieces of wood are bound and transported (15:13-16:36). The new Paul Bunyan plans to use his tree farm to his best advantage. Aerial shots of a tree mill factory. Research continues. Lumber and wood is used. Wood built America (16:37-18:28). Shots of a forest and then the film ends, no titles at all (18:29-18:50).
Weyerhaeuser Company is an American timberland company which owns nearly 12.4 million acres of timberlands in the U.S. and managing additional 14.0 million acres timberlands under long-term licenses in Canada. The company also manufactures wood products.

The small trees in the film are probably being harvested today. Great renewable resource when managed correctly.
Those were harvested long ago. Trees I planted myself in 1969 were cut and new ones are growing in their place.
Good god those dougs are incredible!
Sounds like they cared about the environment waaaaaay back then. Look how beautiful the land is in this film.
The scene at 7:30 with the Willamette skidder is cool stuff!
I remember watching this as a youngster before eating my tofu and broccoli dinner.
@ 9:25 Joe Lebo ran that unloader, he ran it from day one until they retired it 40 years later. He retired the same day. His retirement was the impetus for retiring the unloader. There were better machines on the market by then and nobody was interested in learning Joe's job. They all wanted to sit inside warm and dry.
outstanding!!!
Its 2023 and now we have a really big sasquatch problem in Oregon. Just say'n.
All I see in 2020 is acres and acres of beautiful toilet paper in the raw.
Weyerhaeuser...The tree growing company.
The NEW Paul Bunion....knows!!
Bunion?
word...
Ok
Weyerhauser was running test on 15,20,25 year trees when I worked at mill in 90's
I think they really messed up with their High yield trees they grow fast.
But growth rings 1 to 1.5.inches.not tight like old growth 😐
Can we see this same video in 2020?
You ARE seeing it in 2020.
Rip our old growth
Yeah, I've tried to hunt those sportsmans paradises they leave. A deer might get through, but the ground was so torn up, I gave up after a couple hundred yards.
Too bad the film is in such bad shape.
Sar Jim it is beautiful to watch though :)
Sar - Too bad YOU'RE in such bad shape!
@@jonhohensee3258 And you know I'm in such bad shape how? Go troll somewhere else.
@@sarjim4381 - You're HUUUGE!
@@jonhohensee3258 Yes, several women have told me that.
Watching them cut and drag 400 year old trees makes me feel sick on the inside. Nothing like killing the worlds best and biggest air filters.
Yet my Jetta tdi is blamed for climate change..... ya okay then
what's your house made out of ?
