It was recommended that the
planting fees for the Refores-
tation. Assistance Program be
increased. Under the new
schedule fees for machine
planting would be raised to
$20/1,000 trees from $15. and
fees for hand planting-would be
raised to $25/1,000 from $20.00.
This schedule will not come into
effect until 1977. Approximately

resulted in the program being cut
from an original 60,000 trees.
