Wisconsin Conservation Corps gains broad support in hearings
A Wisconsin Conservation Corps bill draft, modeled after the 1930s CCC, drew near unanimous backing across hearings in Spooner Rhinelander Superior Cable St. Croix Falls and River Falls. The plan would employ 18 to 25 year olds in forest and conservation work with wages a $500 bonus or $1,000 education voucher, administered by a seven member policy board with local recruitment and county level project management.

House backs American Conservation Corps plan in Congress
The House approved a federal civilian conservation corps proposal by 301 to 87 to fund up to 100,000 youth park and forestry jobs. It envisions 60 million this year and 300 million annually for five years, amid praise and skepticism from lawmakers. Wisconsin's Harvey Stower notes local programs would dovetail with any federal effort.
