Part of Forest County’s History

The excellent film from the WBGH website, The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), is offered in its entirety on this site. “Heal the man, heal the
land,” was the philosophy of the CCC, and they engaged in some of the first environmental conservation work in the country.  Since many academics,
politicians, and lay people compare the current troubled times with what was seen in the 1930s, this film is particularly pertinent and visitors can
decide if it’s an apt comparison or not.  Regardless, the stories of the three million young men who benefited from the regular meals, healthcare,
clothing, diversity and hard work are fascinating.  The trailer for the film starts playing right upon entering the website, but can be stopped just by
clicking on the screen.  Visitors can scroll over the “The 1930s Collection” logo to the right hand side of the film’s screen to see the playlist for the
film, but watching the whole film is recommended, as it is truly a treat. [KMG] - Source:  The Scout Report — November 13, 2009
