A presentation at the Hartwick Pines Logging Museum in Grayling is looking at the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Sunday's event features Department of Natural Resources and Environment historian Rob Burg. He planned to present a program highlighting work the CCC did in Grayling, Gaylord, Houghton Lake, Kalkaska, Mio and Roscommon.
The CCC planted trees in Michigan, fought thousands of forest fires across the country and developed national parks. The CCC involved millions of young men during its work from 1933 to 1942.
In the Grayling and surrounding areas, the CCC operated the Higgins Lake Nursery, built the Logging Museum, operated the Grayling Fish Hatchery and made improvements at the Grayling Winter Sports Park.
