In this video we go joking and exploring a location that was a CCC camp back in the 1930's and is now a public park in Massachusetts. There are some remains of the old barracks but the largest mark left upon the land is the changes made to the land. The CCC cut and replanted many trees and made beautiful dirt roads through all of these pars for people to use for recreation. On top of the history form the great depression era we must keep in mind that all of this land around here is very old. A good portion of it was colonial farm land dating back to the 1700s as well as into the 1800s. So lets go for a hike through the woods and explore the layers of time looking for signs of colonial life right up to present day.
CCC in New England
The Civilian Conservation Corps CCC was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed & unmarried men. The CCC was a huge part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that provided manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men to help relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States. In its nine years in operation, 3 million men participated in the CCC, which provided them with $30 a month salary.

Safety in Woods Work 1938 Civilian Conservation Corps CCC
This 1938 film, Safety in Woods Work, was made for the US Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the US Department of Agriculture. The film contrasts proper and improper methods of felling trees and carrying hand tools (axes, spades, picks, etc.). Snag (deformed and diseased trees) is felled to illustrate safety principles. Brush is cleared from the area around the snag, a notch is axed in a tree to control the direction of fall, the tree is partially sawed, a wedge is driven into the cut, and the tree is then sawed through. As shown in this film, many employers in the past (and some still today) blame workplace accidents on workers rather than look at hazardous job conditions. In the past, based on this attitude, workers were often openly called stupid, careless and accident-prone and blamed as the cause of their injuries. With this approach, the result of most accident investigations is to blame the injured worker and the solution is to tell the worker to be more careful. This approach ignores the role of managers and employers in making key decisions in the workplace they control. However these days, this older harsh language is replaced by so called behavior-based safety programs based on the claim that 80 to 96 percent of job injuries and illnesses are caused by workers' own unsafe acts. This number has been discredited by many other studies which identify the key role of the work environment in safety and health. Behavior-based safety programs focus attention on worker carelessness and conscious or unconscious unsafe behaviors, and place the onus for a safe workplace on workers themselves. The unsafe worker statistics espoused by behavior-based safety consultants and repeated by employers purchasing or developing behavioral safety programs were derived from the work of insurance investigator H.W. Heinrich in the 1930s. Heinrich's research into injury causation consisted of his review of supervisors' accident reports, which critics pointed out naturally blame workers for accidents and injuries. He arrived at the statistic that 88 percent of workplace accidents and worker injuries were caused by workers' unsafe acts, numbers echoed by today's behavioral safety programs. For more information on these programs and ways to oppose them, go to the Hazards magazine website at . From the 1938 CCC Annual Report -- Reports for the fiscal year indicate 6 enrollee injury deaths as against 11 for the preceding year, or a reduction of 45.41 percent. It is felt that this appreciable reduction in injury deaths on work projects has been due, in a large measure, to weekly project safety meetings as well as frequent inspection of projects, men and equipment, and the sustained emphasis placed on first-aid and aquatic safety instruction. Proper handling of automotive equipment, hand-tools, explosives, etc.,as regards safety precautions, has been a major objective. All supervisory arid facilitating personnel, as well as leaders, assistant leaders, truck drivers, and machine operators, are required to hold Red Cross standard first-aid certificates. Approximately 50 percent of this personnel are in possession of the certificates, and the remainder are receiving instructions toward that end. Many of these also hold instructor's certificates. Most of the enrollees have shown keen interest in the safety program and aptitude in results, and approximately 25 percent of them have successfully passed Red Cross examinations for certificates. All safety activities of the Corps are under the general direction of the safety engineer in the Office of the Director.

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
The Civilian Conservation Corps
Civilian Conservation Corps
The Civilian Conservation Corps was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal. Originally for young men ages 18–23, it was eventually expanded to young men ages 17–28. Robert Fechner was the head of the agency. It was a major part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that provided unskilled manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state and local governments. The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men, to relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States while at the same time implementing a general natural resource conservation program in every state and territory. Maximum enrollment at any one time was 300,000; in nine years 3 million young men participated in the CCC, which provided them with shelter, clothing, and food, together with a small wage of $30 a month.
The American public made the CCC the most popular of all the New Deal programs. Principal benefits of an individual's enrollment in the CCC included improved physical condition, heightened morale, and increased employability. Implicitly, the CCC also led to a greater public awareness and appreciation of the outdoors and the nation's natural resources; and the continued need for a carefully planned, comprehensive national program for the protection and development of natural resources.
