Civilian Conservation Corps on OPB, November 3 at 9:00 p.m.

“During the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps put millions of young men to work improving public lands. In its short existence, enrollees planted three billion trees earning the name Roosevelt’s Tree Army. Today, their work is still enjoyed in parks and forests around the state.”
