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).]]> 2018-05-25 18:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263708028 s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263740793  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).]]> 2018-05-25 21:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263740793 Fun Facts s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263742876

Today, this national park "is one of the least visited, and the most revisited" parks in the US ("Isle Royale," 2016).]]> 2018-05-25 23:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263746542 s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263747052 2018-05-25 23:14:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263747052 References s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263818506 2018-05-26 23:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263818506 s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263819760 2018-05-26 23:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263819760 s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263819794 2018-05-26 23:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263819794 Lasting Impact s_tovar https://padlet.com/s_tovar/Assignment3_1/wish/263819939 All throughout Michigan's national parks and forests, the hard work of the CCC can be seen.
