Camp History

The EEL River Conservation Camp CC#31 was activated February 2, 1967.  The Camp is jointly operated by the California Dept. Of Forestry (Cal-Fire) and California Dept Of Corrections and Rehabilitation.  During the calendar year CC #31 provides the local community, state and federal agencies with support and conservation service work.

It is estimated through the emergency responses to fires, floods, and project work CC #31 provided cost avoidance in excess of $ 1, 000,000.00 per year to the taxpayers of California.  Noteworthy projects include extensive work at various public schools, State Parks, State/County roadways and US land improvement to include a successful camp recycling program.
