Shaping Youth, Sustaining Life: The Civilian Conservation Corps in the Northwest
This 2004 audio presentation recounts the story "of men who either worked in CCC [Civilian Conservation Corps] camps in the Pacific Northwest, or who worked in camps across the nation and now call the Pacific Northwest their home." During the Great Depression, the CCC "provided over 3 million young men the opportunity to combat poverty, hunger and economic adversity" by offering conservation work in forests and parks.
