Self-described as "An entirely unofficial budget of news, nonsense, 'n' opinion compiled from time to time for the profit,
amusement, and annoyance of the staff.", the BC Forest Service newsletters originated in 1922 under the name 'Root and Branch'.
The newsletters have continued intermittently since then, under several names, but all have shared a common theme. The
newsletters provide an interesting view of the growth of the BC Forest Service, the issues of the day, and other details of
historical interest.
