FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







1992 FWOC RESOLUTION #18

_REAFFIRMATION ON CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS_


The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs reaffirms a resolution passed at its 1991 convention providing for the return of the Civilian Conservation Corps to ease the situation facing the unemployed youth.  This resolution is repeated below.
"The development of the trails in the United States received a major impetus during the 1930's with the formation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).  A similar economic situation is facing the unemployed as many of the jobs vacated in the recent recession will not be refilled by industry.  Automation and mechanization have produced a great surplus of hand labor.  Thus, the government might justify a return of the CCC for a long range work program of repairing damage to the environment and improving outdoor recreation facilities such as is being done successfully by California.
"The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs recommends the reinstitution of the Federal Civilian Conservation Corps for trail construction and maintenance and for improvement of the environment."
