Join award-winning author P. O’Connell Pearson for an engaging look at her acclaimed book Fighting for the Forest: How FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps Helped Save America. Learn how the young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) helped restore America’s landscapes and build the foundation of our National Parks during the Great Depression. Then, bring history to life:

  • Design erosion-control solutions in a hands-on group activity
  • Plant a tree on-site at Green Spring Gardens, honoring the CCC’s lasting impact

This special program is part of the VA250 and Fairfax250 commemorations, connecting past conservation efforts to the future of our local forests.
