Vermont Business Magazine, Burlington, Vt., reports that the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps has received a US$3,500 grant from the International Paper Foundation (Memphis, Tenn.) in support of youth development and conservation programming. VYCC has been offering employment and training to youth ages 16-24 since 1985. Young people work in small crews on public lands across the state. They learn to work as a team, to take personal responsibility for their actions and to value the importance of environmental conservation through high-priority projects. Many of these projects improve the health of Vermont’s watersheds. The IP Foundation has supported VYCC programming since 1997, as a result of the Ticonderoga Mill operation on Lake Champlain’s western shore. Frequently, funds go toward projects that directly improve the health of Lake Champlain.
