What all did the Civilain Conservation corps do?

Answer 1

The Civilian Conservation Corps employed 274,375 young men between the ages of 17 and 25 in 1,300 camps nationwide. By 1935 the number of camps and employed young men increased dramatically. Eventually, almost 3 million people served in the Corps. The men signed on for 6 months and were organized into crews that reforested land, undertook conservation projects in National Parks, and worked on trails and clearing growth in National Forests. They built bridges, repaired dams, built fire lookouts and fences, and did terracing to prevent erosion. They were paid $30 a month, but they had to send $25 to their folks in the cities, so the parents would have money to spend to stimulate the economy. The CCC was one of the most popular and most successful of the New Deal measures.

Answer 2

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a work relief program created during the Great Depression in the United States. It focused on employing young, unemployed men to perform conservation and reforestation work. The CCC built trails, planted trees, constructed parks and recreational facilities, fought wildfires, and completed various conservation projects across the country. Overall, the CCC aimed to provide employment opportunities while also addressing environmental concerns.
