Youth Conservation Corps
The primary mission of the Granby Land Trust Youth Conservation Corps (GLTYCC) is to help the Granby Land Trust complete high priority land management projects. Working outside, with peers, toward a common goal, can be physically and mentally rewarding; and many hands certainly make light work. The amount of work a group of eager teenagers can accomplish in a morning is remarkable.
Under the leadership of a GLT board member, volunteers help build and maintain trails and improve wildlife habitat. Work parties are held on weekend mornings, typically last two hours, and sometimes involve donuts.
The Granby Land Trust so appreciates the work of these volunteers. If you would like to join the Granby Land Trust Youth Conservation Corps, please send an email to info@granbylandtrust.org or reach out to the YCC's 2022-23 Team Captain Chas Orluk to learn more. Candidates should be at least 14 years of age.
👉 WE NEED YOUR HELP - PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH FRIENDS! Join the Granby Land Trust for our Fourth Annual 🌎 Earth Day Roadside Cleanup, April 24 - 27! Last year, more than 125 volunteers like you 💪 helped us pick up more than 3,549 pounds of trash covering 52 miles of roadside in Granby. Let’s do even more this year! This is a DIY event – you simply choose the street or neighborhood you'd like to tidy, then shoot us an email at info@granbylandtrust.org to let us know where you plan to work so we can track our reach and send you an email with some more info a couple days before the event. You provide the manpower; we’ll provide the dumpster. Many hands make light work. Invite your family, neighborhood friends, book club, nonprofit organization, youth group, sports team, church group, or any other group to get involved and make a positive impact on our town! Send us a photo (at info@granbylandtrust.org) so we can use it to inspire others. And once you’re done, if you’re over 21, you’re invited to Lost Acres Vineyard for a free glass of wine 🍷(go to granbylandtrust.org to learn more). Let’s make a difference on Earth Day 2025!
