We Can Take It - the Civilian Conservation Corps for GREEN JOBS
CCC Projects Then

Please sign and leave your comments for your elected Federal Officials on the Petition for Reactivation.  
 

I propose to create a civilian conservation corps to be used in forestry, the prevention of soil erosion, flood control and similar projects . . .  

More important, however, than the material gains from their labors will be the moral and spiritual value of such work."

                                          Franklin D. Roosevelt, March21, 1933

*Forestry*

Prerequesites

All enrollees would be trained in wildland fire suppression.

All would be trained to  perform controlled burning.

All enrollees would be trained to restore forest and grasslands burned by fires.

Trail Work
 
National Forest or National Park trails throughout the United States
where probably built by the 20ty Century CCC
and need to be restored and develop new trails.

Habitat Enhancement

Landscape, seed, remove weeds, and plant trees for habitat or

for reforestation with mixed hardwood and soft wood species.


Biological Research
 
Enrollee work crews would work side by side with scientists
to help with biological inventories, forest measurements, fish implants,
and data collection for short or long-term research projects.
 
 
 

*Prevention of soil erosion*
 
 

HABITAT ENHANCEMENT

  Landscape, seed, remove weeds, and provide preventive measures 

against soil erosion of agricultural and grazing lands. 

Preventing soil erosion as in the dust bowls

 of the past as climate change occurs.

 
*Flood Control*

Conservation and Watershed Restoration

Preserve habitat on projects that range from stream bank stabilization, native seed collection, to planting trees. 

Prepare our shores and waterways for eventual sea level rise.
