What did forests look like? Well son have a look. This is what it looked like before we cut them all down.

Another film in the âYour Lifeâs Workâ series, this one goes over careers in forestry, covering both conservation work and the lumber industry. Iâm sure Iâve seen some of this footage before, perhaps in Felling Forest Giants or some of the Department of the Interior films Iâve seen recently. At any rate, this is a pretty ordinary film, though it does have some striking images of forests and lumbering at a few points.

Because if you do, maybe you'll consider a career in the forestry industry! This film, from the ususally-reliable Burton Life-Work series, seems to be a let down, as the narrator seems to pooh-pooh the idea of working in the forestry industry (In automotives, of course, you need physics). The occupation is almost made to look bland in the film, which hurts the interest level.
