Other projects planned by the Forest Service are: construction of lookout towers, warehouses, ranger stations, roads and trails, range fencing and reseedingr tree planting and improvement of timberstands.

Accelerated Public Works Programs will be carried out on 83 National Forests within counties sufiering from substantial and continuous underemployment and une.mployment. Labor for these projects will be recruited through local State Employment offices.
