The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was established in 1933 to create chances for unemployed young men to work in rural areas the Great Depression. The CCC wanted to protect and improve natural resources by “planting trees, fighting forest fires, and refurbishing historic sites and parks, building infractucture,...” (702). The CCC enrolled young men aged fourteen to twenty-four who came from relief families and provided them a place to live, food, and small financial assistance when they work on the projects. “Within the first two months, the CCC employed its first 250,000 men and eventually established about twenty-five hundred camps” (702). The CCC recruited nearly 3 million young American men from 1933 to 1942. The program was controlled by the US Army, and the workers were supervised by the National Park Service, the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, and the US Forest Service. The CCC had a significant impact on the lives of everyday people during the Great Depression. It helped young, unemployed men who were struggling to support themselves and their families have an opportunity to work. “By the time the CCC program ended at the start World War II Roosevelt’s “Tree Army” had planted more than 3 billion trees on land made barren from fires, natural erosion, intensive agriculture or lumbering.”. Thanks to New Deal, many economy and social programs have created by the government that still exist and develop today. The national park structures and more than 700 new state parks which visitors can still enjoy today were built by CCC companies.
