On Sept. 11, members of the Granby Land Trust’s Youth Conservation Corps labored for several hours on the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve. Eighteen high schoolers and four parents turned out to help clear debris from the spillway at Creamer Pond to improve water flow, clean out the gutters along the sides of the trail to improve drainage and reduce erosion and assist with other trail maintenance activities.
The students got good and dirty, earned community service hours required by Granby Memorial High School for graduation, enjoyed donuts and left with the satisfaction of a job well done. The GLT is so grateful to them for donating their time and energy to this cause.
The GLT’s Youth Conservation Corps is a team of high-school-age volunteers who assist the GLT by participating in periodic property cleanups. Do you know a high schooler who would be interested in joining the Youth Conservation Corps? Have them reach out to us at info@granbylandtrust.org providing their name, age and an email address they check regularly, and we will contact them when we plan our next YCC event.
