<br/><br/> At the height of the Great Depression, two of America's richest resources- it's young men and it's public lands- were in peril. As unemployed young men despaired at their prospects for earning a living for themselves and their families, choking duststorms stripped away the farmland and fire ravaged the nation's forests. Only days after taking office in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched a new program to help save both treasures. Within months, the Civilian Conservation Corps had put three quarters of a million young men to work restoring forest and farmland, building infrastructure, and fighting fires in America's National Public Lands.
