Roosevelt signed an executive order to distribute $10 million dollars for "Emergency Conservation Work." This executive order resulted in launching one of the New Deal Programs called the Civilian Conservation Corps, also known as the CCC (Alexander, 2018). ]]> 2021-02-11 02:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/trandolph5/u66o5ho9qww68yh5/wish/1190388880 Goals trandolph5 https://padlet.com/trandolph5/u66o5ho9qww68yh5/wish/1192583042 During the Great Depression, there was not only economic devastation, but also environmental due to the drought and destruction caused by farming practices.

This project regenerated the national forests in the United States and also formed shelter belts on the Great Plains to prevent the negative impact of dust storms (Alexander, 2018). The CCC also created fire forest prevention systems, created and landscaped 711 state parks, and built hiking trails in national parks. The CCC created the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton national parks (Alexander, 2018).]]> 2021-02-13 17:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/trandolph5/u66o5ho9qww68yh5/wish/1199610503 Impacts trandolph5 https://padlet.com/trandolph5/u66o5ho9qww68yh5/wish/1201283439 Roosevelts Tree Army has influenced organizations and other youth work programs, such as national non-profits and state based programs. Without the help of the CCC, the National Park System and other state national parks would not be able to grow. Individuals visiting the Grand Canyon today can still recognize the structures that were built from the CCC's efforts (Neatrour, 2015).]]> 2021-02-14 15:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/trandolph5/u66o5ho9qww68yh5/wish/1201283439
