Amid the depths of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt formulated a bold plan for putting millions of unemployed Americans to work and restoring the nation’s public lands. Today, it’s almost impossible to travel around the state without encountering reminders of their legacy, from irrigation canals to ski lodges. This is the story of how they did it.

Listen to a presentation by Glenn Voelz. He will be bringing his book, "The Civilian Conservation Corps in Oregon"
