The CCC was one of the most successful of the New Deal programs. Even today, many people think something like the CCC would be benificial for our economy and the unemployed. The CCC employed 2.9 million young men between the ages of 17 and 35. They worked throughout the US in over 2000 camps. The men would sign on to work in the CCC for 6 months, be put into crews, and do such work as reforestation, cutting and clearing timber, conservation projects in National Parks and Forests, build bridges, repair dams, construct fire look-outs, install fences and do work to prevent erosion. The men received a wage of $30 per month, but they had to send about $25 back to their homes so that the money was made available to their family to spend thus helping the economy in the cities and towns from which the men came. The CCC accomplished much more than just "work detail." They performed necessary and lasting work in the rural areas of our nation, and it provided many city kids their first glimpse of the natural environment.
