New statue for Civilian Conservation Corps

EAGLE RIVER - Trees for Tomorrow in Eagle River wants to build a statue to honor the Civilian Conservation Corps. It would be the first in the Northwoods. The statue will stand six feet tall and weigh more than four hundred pounds. The idea started with one CCC veteran that served at a camp in Troy, WI from 1937 to 1938.

"A wonderful gentleman, 92-year old Richard Chrisinger, has already donated 15,000 dollars to the statue," said Trees For Tomorrow Executive Director Libby Dorn.
