Economic stimulus invests in nation's parks

The economic stimulus plan that was recently signed into law by President Obama includes over $900 million in funds for work on national parks, many of which have been neglected in recent years.

The funds will create an estimated 100,000 jobs, similar to what FDR did with the Civilian Conversation Corps during The Great Depression.

Not only will the job creation boost the economy, the work done will benefit current U.S. citizens and generations to come by preserving our nation's resources.
