Youth make a difference in Oregon State parks!
Youth, ages 14-19, are already busy at Oregon parks. Crews are improving parks by building and maintaining trails, removing outdated fences and controlling invasive plant species. The next time you visit Rooster Rock or North Santiam, you can admire the handiwork of these dedicated youth. Visit our YouthCorps Programs page for program registration information, the 2006 schedule, and online applications.

"I was hiking the Ogle Mt trail today with my son and had the pleasure of meeting the nicest young men and women. They mentioned that we were the first hikers they had seen on the trail they were maintaining. They have done excellent work on the trail. Others should enjoy this well-maintained trail and the cheerfulness of this [NYC] work crew. They give your organization a good name."

Learning about ecosystems through conservation projects
YouthWorks youth traveled to the Eastgate Wildlife Area at Dorena Lake, near Cottage Grove, Oregon. Teams weeded, raked, and added mulch around newly planted trees to help ensure their survival. Near Eugene, Oregon, teams helped control invasive plants, like St. John's Wort, that compete with native species. Thank you Army Corps of Engineers and Eugene BLM!
YouthWorks Outdoor Explorations (day program) sessions 2 and 3 are still open for Lane County youth, ages 11-15. Next session starts July 17. Call 349-5055 ext. 233 or e-mail our YouthWorks team today for information or a registration packet. Visit our YouthWorks page.
