CCC Forestry

THIS manual of forestry and forest work is intended to serve as an aid to both the instructional and learning phases of Civilian Conservation Corps education. As a simple text relative to forest work projects, it will serve to obviate time-taking research on the part of the foreman-instructor and to give the enrollee-student a reference book for self-initiated study and reading.

The practical and theoretical aspects of forest work are not covered exhaustively, but an attempt has been made to bring out the subjects of greatest interest and value to the enrollee—in increasing his efficiency as a CCC man, in fitting him for advancement in camp responsibility, and in giving him the technique necessary to obtain a position when he returns to civilian life.

The text, photographs, pen-and-ink sketches, and charts are designed to interest and instruct readers who are not equipped with the technical background necessary to the intelligent perusal of most forestry hooks. It should be serviceable, therefore, to both the layman and the CCC enrollee.

A cross-reference guide, in the Appendix, adapts the text to the questions which may arise in teaching from the Outline of Instruction in Forestry, CCC Vocational Series 8.¹
