  • CCC Worker Statues to Honor and Commemorate the Hard Work And
    CCC Worker Statues To honor and commemorate the hard work and accomplishments of the Civilian Conservation Corps, established on March 31, 1933, by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a CCC Worker Statue was created to be placed across the nation, primarily in sites where they worked. Most of these sites are in national or state parks. The ones listed below have been funded primarily by chapters of the existing National Association of the Civilian Conservation Corps Alumni. Others have been funded by individual members or their family members as a memorial to that individual. Some states are fortunate to have more than one of the statues, but as of May 2013 there were 12 states, and the District of Columbia, that did not have a CCC Worker Statue honoring the men who worked in their state. Any individual or organization that would be interested in obtaining and placing a CCC Worker Statue in one of those states (listed below) may contact the NNDPA office at P. O. Box 602, Santa Fe, NM 87504, email [email protected], or call the office at (505) 473-3985 (cell phone is (505) 690-5845). At this time a statue and bronze plaque cost approximately $22,600, which includes delivery to the site. Or you can contact Melissa Heidenga at CCC Legacy directly at P. O. Box 341, Edinburgh, VA 22824. Email [email protected] 616-532- 4262 States Without CCC Worker Statues (as of October 2014) Alaska Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Mississippi Nebraska Nevada Oklahoma Rhode Island Utah Vermont District of Columbia Locations of Existing CCC Worker Statues (Details of statue locations and dedications can be reviewed on the CCC Legacy website.) 1.

  • PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014
    PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014 What is Primitive Camping? Primitive camping is a simplistic style of camping. Campers hike, pedal or paddle to reach a location and spend the night without the presence of developed facilities. This primitive camping experience takes place off the beaten path, where piped water, restrooms and other amenities are not provided. You pack in all you need, exchanging a few conveniences for the solitude found in the back country setting. Fresh air, fewer people and out-of-the-way natural landscapes are some of the benefits of primitive camping. Once off the beaten path, however, additional advantages begin to surface such as a deeper awareness and greater appreciation of the outdoor world around you. Primitive camping also builds outdoor skills and fosters a gratifying sense of self-sufficiency. Where to Camp Pennsylvania has 2.2 million acres of state forest land with 2,500 miles of trails and 5,132 miles of Camping at rivers and streams winding through it. Hiking, biking and multi-use trails traverse most state forest districts and six districts have designated water trails that transect state forest land. Forest Districts State parks are not open to primitive camping. However, with the exception of William Penn State Forest, all state forest districts are open to this activity. Camping is not permitted in designated STATE FOREST DISTRICTS: natural areas or at vistas, trail heads, picnic areas and areas that are posted closed to camping. Bald Eagle State Forest (570) 922-3344 Contact a forest district office for specific information, maps and Camping Permits (if needed).

Forest Restoration Comes to the Aid of Wildlife Replanting our National Forests There are plenty of reasons to plant trees, and improving wildlife habitat is an urgent and important one. With contributions from members of the Arbor Day Foundation and help from our partner organizations, forests nationwide are being restored following wildfires, windstorms and other destructive forces of nature and humans. Many wildlife species benefit from these critical reforestation projects with homes, food and protective cover. For example, only five percent of the historical habitat of brook trout remains.
