The Civilian Conservation Corps (Ccc) Was Established In March, 1933, As One Of The First Initiatives Of Franklin D. Roosevelt'S Administration. The Purpose Of The Ccc Was To Put Unemployed Young Men To Work Performing Conservation And Related Activities Amidst The Depths Of The Great Depression While Simultaneously Striving To Restore The Bodies, Minds, And Spirits Of The Men Themselves. With Unprecedented Cooperation Among Federal Agencies, This Hugely Successful Effort Became The Largest Peacetime Mobilization In Our Nation S History.Over The Nine Years That The Ccc Was In Existence, More Than Three Million Ccc Enrollees Worked In More Than 700 Local, State, And National Parks And Planted Billions Of Trees, Erected Hundreds Of Fire Towers, Restored Worn Out Forests And Farm Lands, Constructed Lakes And Dams, Blazed Thousands Of Miles Of Trails, And Built Rustic Cabins, Lodges, Shelters, And Other Structures.
