marks and forests create economic opportunities that continue to support our communities just as they did during the 1930s.
For nine years the men of the CCC worked diligently to restore years of neglect and abuse to natural resources that had taken hold in the late part of the 19th century. Tbday, as we watch our “green space” fall into jeopardy let us be mindful of our responsibility to our natural resources and our conservation heritage.
Be curious. Find out about the heritage of the CCC in your community. Keeping the legacy of the CCC alive raises the awareness of the value of modem conservation and its continuing contribution to our communities.
Virginia would be a veiy different without the work of the CCC. Plan a project on March 31 that will commemorate your conservation legacy. The men of the CCC planted nearly 3 billion trees. Why don’t you plan to plant a tree?
