California Conservation Corps’ Annual Volunteer Day October 19

Hundreds of volunteers from the California Conservation Corps, nonprofit groups and California businesses are joining forces on Saturday, October 19, to work on environmental projects that promise to have high impact on local communities.

A project of the CCC Foundation, the Corps’ annual Volunteer Day also is designed to raise awareness and visibility of conservation efforts throughout the state.

Projects, chosen by participating CCC centers, include:

Placer County – Greenwood Center corps members will be joined by the American River Conservancy for general maintenance at the historic Wakamatsu Colony Farm near Coloma. 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Contact: Nick Howe (day of event) 530-401-8183.
Sacramento County – Placer and Sacramento Center corps members will be joined by the American River Parkway Foundation and employees of the American Chemistry Council and AT&T in clearing vegetation, trash and debris along a four mile stretch of the equestrian trail at Discovery Park. 8 a.m.-1 p.m.  Contacts: Melanie Wallace, 916-218-2380; Steve Swatt (day of event) 916-849-8000.

Sacramento County – Greenwood Center corps members and volunteers from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Phoebe Hearst Elementary School community will prepare the site of the school’s new habitat and outdoor classroom by building a decomposed granite path and seating area for students. 8 a.m-2 p.m. Contact: Brian Lussier (day of event) 530-401-8185.

The California Conservation Corps was created in 1976.  Since then, 115,000 corps members have provided more than 67 million hours of conservation work – planting more than 21 million trees, improving stream and fish habitats, building and maintaining more than 10,000 miles of trails, and improving California park and recreation areas.  Corps members have also spent more than nine million hours assisting with fires, floods, oil spills, earthquakes and pest infestations.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program that put young men to work in the outdoors.  Today's California program was modeled after the 1930s agency.

The California Conservation Corps Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit organization that supports the programs and crew members of the California Conservation Corps.Tax-deductible donations to the Foundation can be made here .
