★★★ · You Can Work in the Snow · Dodsworth the Cat · 2025-10-20

A nice overview of conservation, timber cutting and mill work in this short, and some pleasant mountain and forest scenery, with stock footage of wildlife. It's a basic film, outlining pros and cons of working with trees.

★★ · Do You Like Wood? · Spuzz · 2003-06-03

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.
