WELCOME
The spirit of the Civilian Conservation Corps can be found in the notched logs and hammered iron of the Chippewa National Forest Supervisor’s Office in Cass Lake, Minn. This historic landmark embodies the craftsmanship of men like Ike Boekenoogen, Nels Bergley and the boys of Civilian Conservation Corps Company 705, Pike Bay Camp.
