Help save America’s natural resources
The year is 1933, and The United States of America is in rough shape. Our forests have been destroyed by the logging industry, our soil is blowing away in “black blizzards,” and Americans are suffering through the “hard times” of the Great Depression. Discover how FDR’s CCC gave the USA a bit of TLC! Students become enrollees in a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, working together to earn a living for their families and rescue America’s vanishing natural resources.
