    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!

  • Cyanobacteria Monitoring on Lake Champlain Summer 2013
    Cyanobacteria Monitoring on Lake Champlain Summer 2013 Final Report for the Lake Champlain Basin Program May 2014 Prepared by Angela Shambaugh Watershed Management Division Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Montpelier, Vermont in conjunction with Andy Chevrefils Mike Winslow Radiation and Toxicological Section Lake Champlain Committee Vermont Department of Health Burlington, VT 1 Executive Summary Cyanobacteria monitoring on Lake Champlain in 2013 continued to integrate qualitative observations, photographic documentation, quantitative analysis of algae populations, and microcystin concentrations into guidance for Lake Champlain users. Additional monitoring on four Vermont lakes (Carmi, Elmore, Iroquois and Memphremagog) was made possible by a CDC Climate Change grant awarded to the Vermont Department of Health. Objectives continue to monitor cyanobacteria at locations on Lake Champlain through the established partnership between state and local officials, the Lake Champlain Committee and citizen volunteers; continue to provide consistent quantitative data at selected locations around Lake Champlain; test for the presence of microcystin and anatoxin when algal density and composition triggers are reached; facilitate communication about lake conditions through weekly updates to stakeholders via email and to the general public through the Vermont Department of Health webpage; continue to provide outreach and assistance to beach managers, lakeshore property owners and the general public so they can learn to recognize and respond appropriately to the presence of cyanobacteria blooms More than 800 site-specific reports were submitted during 2013 from 83 locations on Lake Champlain and the four inland lakes. Fifty-four Champlain locations were monitored by citizen volunteers trained by the Lake Champlain Committee. Blooms, defined as category 3 of the visual protocol and alert level 2 of the tiered alert protocol, were reported 14 times in 2013.

  • Upland Shores
    Upland Shores Rivershores ctober, 1927, was a wet month in Vermont. Rainfall had been higher than usual. The ground was saturated, and rivers and streams were full. On the first Oday of November, an unusual series of meteorological events began to converge on Vermont. By November 3, rain was falling in unprecedented amounts, and by the end of the day on the 4th, nine inches had fallen in some parts of the state. The already full streams and wet ground could not handle all this water, and the result was the greatest natural disaster in Vermont’s written history: the Great Flood of 1927. Curiously, New Englanders from outside Vermont’s borders do not count the 1927 flood as a major event. There was some damage in neighboring states, but the bulk of the rainfall, and most of the damage, occurred in Vermont. Eighty-four Vermonters lost their lives, 55 of them in the Winooski Valley alone. River towns throughout Vermont keep the history of the Great Flood alive. City Hall in Montpelier, on the Winooski River, is decorated with photographs of water lapping the steps of the Capitol. A marker in Cambridge, on the Lamoille River, shows that the floodwaters reached the second stories of buildings in the village. Gaysville, on the White River, was washed away completely and is remembered only in pictures. The loss of human life and property caused by the flood of 1927 and lesser floods is well documented. Changes to the natural communities of rivershores and floodplains are not as well understood, however. How did the plants and animals of the rivershores respond to so much water? Local lore in the town of Sharon, on the White River, tells us that a huge amount of floodplain land was lost in the 1927 flood.

    Cyanobacteria Monitoring on Lake Champlain Summer 2012 Final Report for the Lake Champlain Basin Program May 2013 Prepared by Angela Shambaugh Watershed Management Division Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Montpelier, Vermont in conjunction with Andy Chevrefils Mike Winslow Dr. Mary Watzin Radiation and Toxicological Section Lake Champlain Committee North Carolina State University Vermont Department of Health Burlington, VT Raleigh, NC Burlington, Vermont 1 Executive Summary Beginning in 2012, oversight of the established cyanobacteria monitoring program on Lake Champlain passed from the University of Vermont (UVM) to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) as responsibility for the program transitions from the Lake Champlain Basin Program to the State of Vermont. The transition offered an opportunity to modify methodology and expand the monitoring network to underserved areas of the lake while providing the data necessary to inform recreational and public health response in a fiscally sustainable program. Objectives continue to monitor for cyanobacteria at locations on Lake Champlain through the established partnership between state and local officials, UVM, the Lake Champlain Committee and citizen volunteers continue to use the tiered alert monitoring system developed by UVM to provide consistent, quantitative data at selected locations around Lake Champlain expand the geographical monitoring coverage with the assistance of trained citizen volunteers providing weekly qualitative observations of shoreline
