2003 Yearbook and Annual Report Vermont Youth Conservation Corps 2003 Yearbook and Annual Report Teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for all of their actions -The VYCC Mission As the VYCC approaches its 20th anniversary and applications are at an all time high, we are embarking on a campaign to build a much-needed permanent home and training center. This facility will allow us to reach the demand of youth that seek the VYCC experience and to lay a solid foundation for decades to come. A Message from the President Dear Friends, Our organization is built upon the idea of bringing people together to do great things. I want to invite you to become more involved with this wonderful organization that changes lives, protects and preserves Vermont’s natural areas, and helps build better communities across Vermont. In 1986 with a one dollar gift from the Legislature, a small band of friendly schemers set about creating this incredible organization. Their passion was driven by a belief that young people are vital to Vermont . her communities, economy, parks, and other special natural areas. Their vision was to marry the best of government with the best of the private sector to create a lasting legacy for Vermont. In 2005, the VYCC will celebrate its 20th year. The celebration of this important milestone will take place in Richmond, Vermont, at what will soon be the new permanent home and training center of the Corps. This new and permanent home will bring all the training, education, and operational functions of the VYCC under one roof. The efficiencies gained will be staggering. They, along with new visibility, this home will allow the VYCC to as much as triple in size. The VYCC’s Board of Directors began studying the idea of a central facility four years ago and after extensive planning instituted a $3.3 million capital campaign to make it a reality. I came to the VYCC twenty years ago as a 27-year-old kid with a bunch of ideas. I thought I might be around for 3 or 4 years. My experience has been that the VYCC keeps getting better and more exciting as time goes on. In fact, I am more passionate today than ever before! I would love with talk to you about how you can become more involved. It could be as simple as hosting an information meeting about the VYCC in your living room for friends and family, hanging posters at your place of employment, making a gift, or volunteering your time. In whatever way you can get involved, know that we welcome you with open arms! The VYCC is a wonderful community of people who come together to make a difference. I look forward to seeing you in the field. Cheers!

Our mission is to teach indi- Branbury 15 viduals to take personal responsibility for all of their Elmore 16 actions.

As VYCC President Thomas Hark tells staff in Roving 3 & 4 28 training: “Our goal is for the program to ‘ooze’ with Roving 5& 6 29 education.” The conservation projects completed Roving 7 30 by the VYCC crews are important and, like the origi- Roving 8 & 9 31 nal Civilian Conservation Corps projects, will last for Roving 10 32 decades. However, these projects are also the vehicles Roving 11 & 12 33 used to accomplish our mission. Community Crews History Burlington 35 Since 1985 the VYCC has provided young people from Montpelier 36 every county and nearly every town in Vermont the VOCA/Richmond 37 opportunity to gain valuable natural resource train- ing and education. The VYCC has completed several News from the Home Office 38 million dollars worth of priority conservation work Future Home of the VYCC 42 in Vermont through partnerships with agencies and With Special Thanks 44 organizations such as the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation, Vermont Agency of Transportation, Natural Resources Conservation Ser- vice, Vermont Department of Environmental Conser- vation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmen- tal Protection Agency, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and Vermont’s Green Mountain Club. 5 Program Introduction The Vermont Youth Conservation Corps has four distinct types of crews: Roving, Community, Parks, and Wilderness. Each of the VYCC crews focuses on teaching personal re- sponsibility while completing priority conservation projects on public lands throughout Vermont. A sampling of projects includes trail construction and maintenance, backcountry bridge construction, landscape improvements on transpor- tation paths and in public parks, watershed restoration, park management, and facility improvement. Objectives 1. To promote conservation, education, and community service. 2. To educate, train, and help young people develop respect for the environment. 3. To provide worthwhile work and commu- nity service experiences for young people while protecting our parks, forests, and other precious natural resources. 4. To provide the highest quality educational and work experience possible. 5. To offer the experience to every young person who would like to enroll. 6. To be a world leader in the service and conservation corps movement. 7. To run a professional, effective, and highly effcient organization. Roving Crews Roving Crews camp for four-week sessions and live full-time in the outdoors. Roving Crews learn new skills such as watershed restoration, trail construction, and bridge construction, as well as see many different areas of Vermont. Often they will camp for the first two weeks in a state park and then camp for the next two weeks in a backcountry location where they will learn to filter their own water and live without electricity. Roving Crews complete projects for state and federal agencies, as well as local community sponsors. 6 Overview Community Crews On a VYCC Community Crew, Corps Members live at home and work as a team to improve alternative transportation routes, such as bike and pedestrian paths, and to enhance local natural areas. They may also learn innovative bio-en- gineering techniques in order to restore rivers and streams which have been adversely affected by erosion and pollu- tion. These crews are made possible through a variety of partnerships with federal, state, and local project sponsors and offer Corps Members an opportunity to improve and care for the resources in their local communities. Park Crews The Park Crews offer Corps Members the opportunity to work with the public in recreation and park manage- ment. The VYCC currently operates six Vermont State Parks. Crews are responsible for all aspects of the parks including managing the camping reservation system, reg- istering park visitors, maintaining and improving the grounds and facilities, and managing concession sales. The Corps Members also develop and lead educational and recreational activities for park visitors such as na- ture hikes, children's activities, and Saturday night camp- fires. Through this process, Corps Members gain valu- able business, communication, and park management skills as they operate some of Vermont’s largest state parks efficiently and professionally. Wilderness Crews For those Corps Members who seek an exceptionally chal- lenging experience, Wilderness Crews are available. Wil- derness Corps Members live and work in the backcountry for four weeks at a time. They become self-reliant while learn- ing the importance of teamwork with other members of the crew.

    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.
