At the beginning of the Great Depression, Texas had no national forests. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed four national forests in Texas in the 1930s: Davy Crockett, Angelina, Sam Houston and Sabine. These forests cover 637,646 acres. The stated objectives of forest programs included: reforestation, recreation, conservation and prevention of soil erosion. | Source: "Texas Almanac, 1941-1942," page 186, The Portal to Texas History, accessed March 4, 2015, http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth117164/m1/188/?q=davy%20crockett.Download Original File
