The young women and men of the Corps work hard protecting and restoring California’s environment and responding to disasters, becoming stronger workers, citizens and individuals through their service.
CCC Director David Muraki began a tour of the Corps' 27 centers and satellite facilities this month. The statewide tour includes a look at some of the many natural resource projects undertaken by corpsmembers each day.
The CCC director had a chance to see Salinas and Monterey corpsmembers working on the public lands at Fort Ord, now under the direction of the Bureau of Land Management. The CCC crews are planting willow cuttings at Toro Creek to help stabilize the stream banks and reduce the risk of future flooding.
The work is funded through the Proposition 84 Bond Act of 2006. David Muraki also visited the Bird Island Trail under construction at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Working with California State Parks, corpsmembers are constructing a disabled-access trail about a mile long. Three of the State Parks workers assisting with the project are former corpsmembers.

To commemorate the 35 years, corpsmembers from throughout the state submitted more than 1,000 video clips chronicling a "Day in the Life" of corpsmembers, all shot within a two-week period in October 2011.
