Postings on the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Southern Arizona and on the history of the CCC in general. The CCC was a federal program during the 1930s and 1940s to employ young men in conservation projects throughout the country. In Southern Arizona, they worked on soil conservation, range management, forest maintenance, and development of public parks.
