Answer 1

Is this a true or false question?

If you talk to people from the "older" generation, you will hear lots of stories about them or someone they knew who worked for the CCC.

 

Also, you'd be amazed at what google fetches nowadays. I typed in "how many trees were planted by the CCC" and got this back:

 

Three billion
The CCC, also known as Roosevelt's Tree Army, was credited with renewing the nation's decimated forests by planting an estimated three billion trees from 1933 to 1942.

The focus was repairing damage done by the "sod busters". That, and the drought are what brought on the dust bowl. m02.
