Join us this January 19 at 6 pm next week to learn about the Civilian Conservation Corps in Michigan!
In the 1930s, a tree army invaded Michigan. 100,000 strong, the men of the Civilian Conservation Corps occupied over 120 camps throughout the state. They fought forest fires, built state parks, and planted 484 million trees, while sending much-needed money home to their families. Join Historian, Hillary Pine, to learn how this Great Depression-era program transformed Michigan’s landscape in ways that can still be seen today.
See you in the Stillion conference room!
