The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program established in 1933 during the Great Depression. It aimed to provide jobs for young men while promoting environmental conservation. Participants engaged in various projects, including reforestation, soil erosion control, and the development of national parks. Over its nine years of operation, the CCC employed millions of young men, contributing significantly to the restoration of America's natural resources. The program not only helped to alleviate unemployment but also fostered a sense of community and environmental stewardship among its participants.
