The Civilian Conservation Corps
and the Camps in Bergen County

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was the first and most successful of FDR's New Deal work programs. In the midst of the Great Depression the economic crisis was not the only serious threat to the United States. The soil, water and trees were in danger. FDR feared that America, as a country might cease to exist.

His proposal for a massive conservation program would become known as the "CCC" and lasted 9 ½ years. The legacies of the CCC are the state and national parks we enjoy today.

Kathleen Duxbury, CCC researcher, will discuss the program and the three camps that were in Bergen County in the 1930's.
