| Contextual Notes | The YCC model dates back to 1933, as the US was emerging from the Great Depression. It was conceived to provide training and work to young men to help them undertake actions to maintain and protect the nation's natural resources. The program is credited with reforesting more than half of the public and private lands ever reforested in U.S. History (Source: Paige, JC. 1985.
