There are many web sites that discuss this monument. I will summarize some of the information below:
From (
visit link) we learn:
"Former Maryland Governor Harry Hughes, the Department of Natural Resources Secretary John Griffin and Maryland Park Service (MPS) dedicated the State's first Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Worker statue at Gambrill State Park. The bronze statue recognizes CCC’s monumental contributions to the conservation and improvement of Maryland's public lands and natural resources.
"The Civilian Conservation Corps signifies that our State is growing in smarter, greener ways and showcases the hard work these Marylanders put into restoring and building many of our State Parks and Forests," said Governor Martin O’Malley. "I am proud to honor them through this memorial and stewardship programs that continue their legacy."
The dedication also fulfills a dream of Chapter 113 (Maryland Free State) of the former National Association of CC Alumni, now called the National Association of CCC Legacy. The Maryland Free State chapter was established in 1984 by former Maryland CCC members and their families. One of the chapter’s chief purposes has been to raise private donations and advocacy for the creation of the statue memorial in Maryland."
