This file consists of numerous photographs of the CFA's Conservation Car, which was a railway car leased from at first (in the 1920s to the 1950s) the Canadian Pacific Railway and then later (in the 1950s to the 1970s) Canadian National Railways. The Conservation Car was taken to various areas of the country and used as a teaching tool (movies about forestry conservation practices were shown inside the railway car) for small communities. Additional information about the scheduling of the Conservation Car (and other operational records) can be found in the textual material elsewhere in the CFA fonds.
