Partnerships with Corps Groups
The Land Trust has been working with various Corps groups for over ten years. The Land Trust provides restoration projects for the Corps volunteers to do, so that the young adults in the program can gain valuable training and work experience. This will enable them to have increased opportunity to secure meaningful, full time employment in a similar field once they leave the Corps. And, it is beneficial for the community because the restorations they do increase habitat for native species. It’s a win for Land Trust, the young people, and native ecosystems! If you are interested in gaining training and work experience through a Corps, please let us know and we’ll get you connected.
Members have a multitude of reasons for joining the Conservation Corps, from just being employed and receiving certifications , to a love of local habitats and the outdoors. Climb CDC facilitates the opportunity for “at risk” youth to gain structure, confidence, and leadership traits in their life to help to get them on the right track.
