The C.C.C. had 300 possible types of work projects within 10 approved general classifications;
1. Structural Improvements: bridges, fire lookout towers, and service buildings
2. Transportation: truck trails, minor roads, and airport landing fields3. Erosion Control: check dams, terracing, and veggie covering
4. Flood Control: irrigation, drainage, dams, ditching, channel work, and riprapping
5. Forest Culture: planting trees and shrubs, timber stand improvement, seed collection, and nursery work
6. Forest Protection: fire prevention, fire pre-suppression, fire-fighting, and insect and disease control
7. Landscape and Recreation: public camp and picnic ground development, lake and pond site clearing and development
8. Range: stock driveways and elimination of predatory animals9. Wildlife: stream improvement, fish stocking, food and cover planting
10. Miscellaneous: emergency work, surveys, and mosquito control

1.Structural Improvements: bridges, fire lookout towers, and service buildings.
If you looked today, you could probably find bridges or buildings built by the C.C.C.
< This is a picture of the Civilian Conservation Corps building a walkway or bridge.
^ This is a picture of a gazebo\shelter the C.C.C. had made.

2. Transportation: truck trails, minor roads, and airport landing fields.Some of these transportation routes are marked as historic
landmarks. It is fascinating how many of these things exist today.
To your left is a picture of the C.C.C. working on a minor road.
^ Here is a picture of men working on a brick road.

3. Erosion Control: check dams, terracing, and vegetable covering. Did you know? The C.C.C. were the ones who helped build the Hoover Dam.
To your left is a little dam made by the C.C.C.
The C.C.C. didn’t just check dams; they improved them, and made them.What is terracing?
VerbMake or form (sloping land) into a number of level flat areas resembling a series of steps.

4. Flood Control: irrigation, drainage, dams, ditching, channel work, and, riprapping
What is riprapping?
VerbStrengthen with such a structure.
To the left is a diagram of rip-rapping.
Above is an example of riprapping.

5. Forest Culture: planting trees and shrubs, timber stand improvement, seed collection, and nursery work.
Think about it… your backyard could have a tree in it that was planted by the C.C.C.
To your left is a picture of 2 C.C.C. men transferring a tree.
Above is a picture of men planting trees in the forest. They would plant or “renew” (replace) the trees.

6. Forest Protection: fire prevention, fire pre-suppression, fire fighting, insect and disease control.
You may think some of these things might not be important to you but, during The Great Depression peoples’ lungs would get dust in them and other people would get severely sick.
To your left is an example of what a forest fire looks like. Some forest fires can be terribly severe.

7. Landscape and Recreation: public camp and picnic ground development, lake and pond site clearing and development.
Have you ever been to an older national park? If you have, the C.C.C. has probably been there and worked there before.

8. Range: stock driveways, and elimination of predatory animals.Elimination of predatory animals was very important because if there
were too many, the animals could roam into the towns and kill chickens, cows, or even you!
Top 5 Most Predatory Animals of today:
5. Saltwater Crocodile4. Killer Whale3. Grizzly Bear2. African Lion1. Great White Shark
Above is a picture of a great white shark. Listed as the #1 predatory animal.

9. Wildlife: stream improvement, fish stocking, food and cover planting.Did you know? Some fishing lakes and rivers lost business due to fish
stocking.
Stream improvement is being done in Chicago.
10. Miscellaneous: emergency work, surveys, and mosquito control.
To your left is a picture of men working on or improving a creek.
