Description: Vintage Photo Snapshot Historic Place Civilian Conservation Corp Laramie River Wood Chimney Park WY 1940 The Civilian Conservation Corps played an important role in the nation's forests in the 1930's and early 1940's. The Medicine Bow National Forest benefited greatly from the program. In March 1933, Congress responded to President Roosevelt's urgings by creating the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC's) under the Unemployment Relief Act. The CCC proved to be one of the most popular "new deal" agencies, providing employment for almost three million young men during the program's existence. Roosevelt had hoped to place the CCC program on a permanent basis; however, the manpower demands of WWII made this unrealistic by 1942. The program was designed to meet the major objectives of economic relief (all but $5 of the enrollee's $30 monthly check was sent to his dependents on relief, thereby re-circulating money back into the cities), restoring confidence and "building men", and also resulted in a large amount of beneficial and lasting work.
