    For Information Contact: Cyndy Chanaca, 860-424-3219 June 17, 2014 P R E S S R E L E A S E EVENT TODAY 2:00 PM AT ROCKY NECK STATE PARK DEEP: Connecticut Conservation Corps Workers Gained Job Experience Improving Parks and Forests Building a Foundation for Future Employment Opportunities Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Robert Klee today recognized the work of men and women who helped improve state parks while learning valuable job skills as part of the Connecticut Conservation Corps program (CCC). At an event today to meet the CCC workers and see some of the work that they have done at Rocky Neck State Park, East Lyme, Commissioner Klee said, “The original CCC helped transform our national and state park system, including parks in Connecticut, and provided valuable experience for the young men who participated. This tradition continues with today’s emphasis on people of all ages looking for new employment opportunities and to learn new skills. The work done by these crews does not replace work tasks by DEEP employees but rather complements them, allowing state workers to focus on other immediate needs.” “A successful career requires knowledge in planning, establishing goals, problem- solving, communication and project management – all critical workforce skills that play an important role in the Connecticut Conservation Corps experience,” said State Labor Commissioner Sharon M. Palmer. “The knowledge gained from the CCC program is providing these men and women with invaluable training that can be successfully applied to future employment opportunities.” The CCC program is a partnership between DEEP, the Department of Labor (DOL), two Workforce Investment Boards (the Eastern Connecticut Workforce Investment Board, and The Workplace from the Southwest CT Workforce Investment Area), as well as community partner agencies such as EASTCONN, a regional educational service center that provides services to schools, educators, students, and adults.
  • Connecticut State Parks System

    Connecticut State Parks System

    A Centennial Overview 1913-2013 www.ct.gov/deep/stateparks A State Park Centennial Message from Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Robert J. Klee Dear Friends, This year, we are celebrating the Centennial of the Connecticut State Parks system. Marking the 100th anniversary of our parks is a fitting way to pay tribute to past conservation-minded leaders of our state, who had the foresight to begin setting aside important and scenic lands for public access and enjoyment. It is also a perfect moment to commit ourselves to the future of our park system – and to providing first-class outdoor recreation opportunities for our residents and visitors well into the future. Our park system had humble beginnings. A six-member State Park Commission was formed by then Governor Simeon Baldwin in 1913. One year later the Commission purchased its first land, about four acres in Westport for what would become Sherwood Island State Park. Today, thanks to the dedication and commitment of many who have worked in the state park system over the last century, Connecticut boasts a park system of which we can all be proud. This system includes 107 locations, meaning there is a park close to home no matter where you live. Our parks cover more than 32,500 acres and now host more than eight million visitors a year – and have hosted a remarkable total of more than 450 million visitors since we first began counting in 1919. Looking beyond the statistics, our parks offer fantastic opportunities for families to spend time outdoors together. They feature swimming, boating, hiking, picnicking, camping, fishing – or simply the chance to enjoy the world of nature.
