All throughout Michigan's national parks and forests, the hard work of the CCC can be seen. The Civilian Conservation Camp Museum in Roscommon, Michigan displays artifacts and photos that depict the workers' day to day life ("Roosevelt's," 2016). The national forests in Michigan drew in 300,000 million visitors in 2017 (Steinburg, 2017).

Without the efforts of the CCC in 1936 fighting fires, "some of the finest scenic spots on the island would be left barren" ("Roosevelt's," 2016). Today, this national park "is one of the least visited, and the most revisited" parks in the US ("Isle Royale," 2016).

The CCC were tasked with preventing forest fires, floods and soil erosion on both federal and state owned lands (Lehman, 2013). FDR believed the work the CCC were doing would "conserve our precious natural resources" and return the country to its "former glory" ("The Civilian," 2016).

Most of the trees planted were located at the five national parks that existed in Michigan by the late 1930's (Lehman, 2013). Between 1933 and 1945, the CCC restored areas that loggers had left as "barren wasteland" ("Roosevelt's," 2016).

The Civil Conservation Corps was established by an executive order on April 5th, 1933 ("Civilian," 2010). This program was a part of the larger New Deal legislation implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a response to the Great Depression and staggering numbers of unemployed Americans. The CCC gave jobs to hundreds of thousands of young men as they worked on environmental conservation projects ("Civilian," 2010).
