Women plant forests for future in Wisdom Montana
On Beaverhead National Forest near Wisdom, Montana, housewives aged 25 to 55 work on a 170 acre stand, planting Douglas fir seedlings at 2 inches by 4 inches and earning about $3.08 an hour. They join a male crew to replant after harvesting while a computer in Missoula may remind future generations to harvest again in decades.
