  • 2002 Yearbook and Annual Report
    2002 Yearbook and Annual Report Teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for all of their actions -The VYCC Mission Statement A Message from the President Dear Friends, I am pleased to report that the VYCC has never been stronger. We made it work with our extraordinary staff, board members, and volunteers who are extremely talented, committed, and a lot of fun to work with. Thank you! While this is a time when we can take great pride in our accomplishments, it is not a time when we can rest, even for a minute…the needs in our communities are greater than ever and growing, and the Thomas Hark with children Eli (left), VYCC is an important part of the answer. Zachary (middle), and newborn Rosie (right). Our mission of teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for their own actions, what one says and does, is absolutely vital and essential to creating strong and healthy communities. It is these lessons learned in the Corps that will make the difference in the years and decades to come. While it is true that we operate state parks and do incredible trail and other natural resource work, and that this work all by itself makes the VYCC vital to Vermont, the true value of this organization is what individuals learn from their experiences, and then take with them and use the rest of their lives…it is the values of respect, hard work, and personal responsibility that become imbedded in an individual after a stint in the Corps. Many people think of the VYCC as that small group who built a local trail…though few realize over 350 Staff and Corps Members were enrolled in 2002 and completed over 80,000 hours of important conservation work on 800 distinct projects in every corner of Vermont.

  • Appendix a Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There
    Appendix A Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There his list of places to visit is arranged by biophysical region. Within biophysical regions, the places are listed more or less north-to-south and by county. This list T includes all the places to visit that are mentioned in the natural community profiles, plus several more to round out an exploration of each biophysical region. The list of natural communities at each site is not exhaustive; only the communities that are especially well-expressed at that site are listed. Most of the natural communities listed are easily accessible at the site, though only rarely will they be indicated on trail maps or brochures. You, the naturalist, will need to do the sleuthing to find out where they are. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs if you can get them. In a few cases you will need to do some serious bushwhacking to find the communities listed. Bring your map and compass, and enjoy!
