Description
Members of the Civilian Conservation Corps from Jefferson Camp on lunch break at the State Park in Augusta where they cleared a ravine and planted trees for what was hoped would become an arboretum.

The CCC members from Jefferson were veterans of World War I and the camp was under the direction of the Maine Forest Service Forest Protection division.
