Pennsylvania and the CCC

Pennsylvania does a much better job at preserving the history of the Civilian Conservation Corporation with signage of old camps and facilities, preserved old buildings and monuments. You almost get the impression that it is chapter of New York’s history that is to be forgotten.

But then again, I think conservation is at best an after thought in New York. But it’s always been that way – much of the state land is forest preserve – which is a decidedly anti-conservation concept.
