Learn about how the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, in the 1930s, shaped Moran State Park and contributed to the preservation of the nation’s heritage.
In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps to help uplift a nation ravaged by the Great Depression. Young, unemployed men earned $30 a month to build trails, structures, roads, and plant trees in parks and forests across the country. The imprint of their work not only shaped this park but influenced the very nature of our public lands.
