CCC: Flower Garden

 Four CCC boys in their work uniforms pose by the flower bed next to buildings in camp.

The CCC worked on every aspect of vegetation and reforestation management in the Park. They grew and planted new seedlings, cleared the understory of dead brush and trees, and moved shrubs and trees around from one area to another, particularly by picnic grounds, overlooks and other facilities. What might seem natural to us now is actually the product of extensive landscape manipulation.
