California State Parks’ historical account of Civilian Conservation Corps development at Humboldt Redwoods, including the park’s 1921 origin and surviving recreational features.
Summary and historical context#
The agency’s account identifies the Bolling Memorial Grove as the park’s beginning in 1921. It describes CCC work on the entrance road and recreational facilities, and identifies features including a recreation hall, museum, stoves, and campfire centers. A photograph caption identifies a planting crew at Camp Humboldt Redwoods in 1935.
This record is useful for the history of how the protected forest became a place of public interpretation and recreation. It supplements acquisition and conservation histories with evidence about facilities and work programs. The page’s present publication date is not supplied here; the 1921 and 1935 dates concern events and an image described within it.
