The Department of Labor & Industry this week celebrated the establishment of the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps during the group's 20th anniversary ceremony at the State Capitol.

The PCC was established in 1984 to improve the employability of young adults while accomplishing much needed conservation, recreation and historical preservation projects on the state's public land.

Participating in the ceremony were former PCC Director Don Mathis, 160 current PCC members and 50 crew leaders who shared in a cake-cutting celebration honoring the 20th anniversary.
