What’s New at the WCCC
WCCC Thanks GOCO & Colorado Lottery
Earlier this year, Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) awarded the Colorado Youth Corps Association (CYCA) $500,000 in funds to be dedicated equally between GOCO’s Open Space and Local Government purposes. The goal of these funds was to employ youth and young adults (ages 16-25) throughout the state on critical outdoor recreation and land conservation projects using the network of youth corps accredited by CYCA.

Tamarisk and Russian Olive have become a real concern not only in Western Colorado but in much of the US today. The Corps specializes in invasive species removal particularly of these two invasive plants through herbicide application, brush cutting, and chipping. Additionally, the WCCC provides trained saw crews for fire fuels mitigation and removal.

Perhaps the most alluring aspect of working at the Western Colorado Conservation Corps is the chance to live, camp, and work in a captivating environment surrounded by rugged country of mountains, deserts, forests, lakes, mesas and canyons or the urban parks and conservancies of Grand Junction and the Western Slopes metropolises.
