The Civilian Conservation CorpsFDRs favorite program and miracle of interagency cooperationresulted in the building and/or improvement of hundreds of state and national parks, the restoration of nearly 120 million acre of land, and the planting of some three billion treesmore than half of all the trees ever planted in the United States.Fighting for the Forest tells the story of the Civilian Conservation Corp through a close look at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia (the CCCs first project) and through the personal stories and work of young men around the nation who came of age and changed their country for the better working in Roosevelts Tree Army.
