The WPA planted 177 million trees, created 6,000 miles of firebreaks, protected trees from insects & disease, and built fire lookout towers.
May 6, 2013 will mark the 78th anniversary of the creation of the WPA. Will we, as a nation, honor the WPA workers who helped protect our environment?
Answer: Nope.
The question is...why not?
