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.
Volunteers are fanning out across town this weekend as part of the Granby Land Trust’s Earth Day Roadside Cleanup. More than 100 volunteers have stepped up to clean up trash on more than 44 miles of road (see map of coverage which is current as 4.17.24). The Land Trust is so grateful to – and inspired by – every one of them. If you’d like to participate but haven’t yet signed up, email us at info@granbylandtrust.org for more information. Thank you!
