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.

Richard H. Zoller, CCC enrollee
Richard Zoller served in the CCC in Company 260 at Camp F-14 in Idaho where he worked on projects to eradicate the white pine blister rust. When the camp closed, he went to Camp SP-4 in Alabama where he and his friends worked on a state park near Weogufka. His son Guy has graciously shared his dad's memoirs with me, and I've posted them at my website http://www.wordhunting.com/ccc
