The CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and How It Came to Be

Picture

It was the era of the Great Depression. Few jobs, scarcity of food, hardships in every walk of life.  Franklin D. Roosevelt had an idea.  Implement conservation practices and put young men to work.  Both facets of the idea were successful and created many of the state parks and park infrastructure still in use today and provided an income stream for struggling families.  Join us this week as we discuss the benefits of the CCC.   ​
