GREAT WORKING CONDITIONS--MORE ON "THAT" PHOTO & AN UPDATE FROM BOB

A REBUILD AND LEARNING

Visitors to Cambria's Moonstone Beach have noticed a team of young men and young women hard at work and creating new photo ops.

The ballet of balancing beams has added industry to the

extraordinary oceanscape.

The famous Moonstone Beach Boardwalk is in for a bit of repair.

 Erosion has taken it's toll and so youth from the California Conservation Corps

have again been put into action.

Under the watchful guidance of the California State Park Rangers

 members of the CCC do vital work to public infrastructure. 

The Corps hires young men and women 18 to 23 to do natural resource work and emergency repair.

Direction and guidance comes from senior staff and the California State Parks.

Modeled after the 1930's era CCC, the Corps does important work, while training

young Californians in specific skills, project work and management and environmental and natural resource preservation.

Cambria's Moonstone Beach Boardwalk is an example of the important investment the CCC has made in the beauty of California.
While a motto for the CCC is "hard work, low pay, bad conditions...and more,"
one has to question how can it be, working along the big blue?
