The Depression's hardships inspired many public works programs for the unemployed after 1929, and park development became a popular means of relief. With Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration as President in March 1933, the promotion of conservation and public recreation was elevated to the status of a national crusade. Roosevelt immediately proposed the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to Congress as a major emergency program devoted to the care of natural resources. Among its many innovations, the CCC involved the federal government for the first time directly in the development of state and local parks. The CCC was created quickly and enthusiastically. It provided jobs and family income for America's young men, while they performed beneficial tasks on public lands. Through local cooperation with federal agencies, many states including Texas welcomed the CCC as a .vehicle for preserving natural resources and developing park lands. Today in Texas, thirty-one state parks and several city and county parks still exhibit distinctive structures and facilities built by the CCC between 1933 and 1942. Roosevelt had initially conceived the CCC as a "forest army." Young men aged 17 to 25 would be assigned to reclaim over-cut or burnt-out woodlands and to protect the expanding national forest preserves. But FDR's advisors soon convinced him to broaden the scope of the CCC by including soil conservation and development of a nationwide chain of recreation parks. Organized as a separate federal agency with a director responsible only to the President, the CCC drew on the existing resources of four cabinet offices. The Labor Department recruited young men from families registered with state welfare agencies. The War Department accepted recruits at central locations, then fed, clothed, and housed them in remote 200-man companies assigned to either of two agencies guiding the work projects. The Agriculture Department was responsible for CCC efforts in forests and soil conservation districts. The Interior Department directed work that included park development under its National Park Service (NPS). Pressure from Congress and the Veterans Administration expanded CCC enrollment in 1933 to include jobless veterans of World War I. By July 1, 1933, barely three months after its organization, the CCC employed more than 274,000 men in remote camps nationwide.
