Yes, I am sure. The main focus of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was indeed on planting trees and preventing soil erosion. The CCC was a program established during the Great Depression in the United States, and its primary goal was to provide employment for unemployed young men while also promoting conservation efforts. The CCC participants, often referred to as "tree army," undertook a range of projects across the country, including reforestation, soil conservation, constructing fire trails, and building recreational facilities in national parks. Their work helped to rehabilitate and preserve natural resources, create jobs, and provide economic relief during a time of significant hardship.
