Two workers using hand tools are shaping wood to be used in the reconstruction of the Biltmore Forest School in Pink Beds. The unfinished frame of one of the reconstructions can be seen to the left of the image, and a pile of lumber rests on the right behind an informational panel and a large rock. Reconstruction of the school's buildings began in 1967 and the site was designated as "The Cradle of American Forestry" by Congress in 1968. In 1974, the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
